  MissScarlett: Someone's got to say it.....she's very attractive. Whether Magnus will be furious, I can't say.

  perfidious: On this matter, who cares what Carlsen thinks?
Jan-27-25  PaulPetrovitj: She was the sensation of the women section of the World Cup 2023. Enterprising chess and also strong in the endgame. Her second place (she was very close to winning) qualified her for the Candidates tournament.
