| | perfidious: In commentary on the current WSOP main event, Botez was characterised as a 'chess superstar'. Was on the floor on reading that bit of hype. |
|

| | HeMateMe: She was head of the Stanford chess team. That would be...president but not necessarily first board? Just curious. Has Stanford made any noise in the US collegiate championships or Pan Am tournament? |

| Jul-18-23 | | Refused: <perfidious: In commentary on the current WSOP main event, Botez was characterised as a 'chess superstar'. Was on the floor on reading that bit of hype.> Botez checks a few of the important streamer boxes. Young, physically attractive, charismatic/entertaining. In the chess streamer scene she is sorta household name. (So is Anna Cramling (Pia's daughter) btw.). Another very succesful chess streamer is Levy Rozman (aka gotham chess). Levy is an IM, so he is pretty good, but far away from world class, I think Naka is the only chess streamer with a bigger crowd than Rozman. Anyway, point is, you have to seperate succesful tournament player (star player) from succesful chess personality. |

 | | saffuna: <Webster University in St. Louis, MO (with numerous satellite locations) is the collegiate chess powerhouse under the direction of Susan Polgar. It's a team loaded with young foreign grandmasters.> Chessplayers receive scholarships to play for Webster. They don't at Stanford or most universities. |
|

| | HeMateMe: Susan got the chess playing engineering students at Texas, full scholarship, brilliant thinkers who just happened to play chess. It appears at Webster, with the Rex S
Philanthropy she is able to get straight up great chess players. |

Distinction without meaning comes to mind.
I mean, if you can point out the difference between physical attractive and "hot" other than one term is way more objectifying... Anyway, main point still stands. She is a big name/sorta star in the chess streaming scene. Disclosure, I haven't really watched any of her content, but I was aware who she is. And she is apparently doing well monetizing her content. Naka is also preferring to earn his chess bucks by streaming rather than tournament play. As Don Vito Corleone said, It doesn't make any difference to me what a man (or woman in this case) does for a living. Anyway going back to the physical attractiveness issue, I think csmath (does he still post) pointed out a couple of years, that Sadchev gets all the media attention despite Humpy being the way better play, because Sadchev was way more attractive than Humpy. Life's unfair. *shrug* |

Last year, that woman made a very deep run (last 40 players of well over 8000), but was given lip service cos she lacks physical attractiveness. If she were as appealing as some of the women I have faced in my career, the commentators would have been drooling over her. Even when one reads the running reports of events and the listing of notable players in their chip counts, bet you can't guess which group is routinely overrepresented. |

| Jul-19-23 | | JustAnotherMaster: That Indian Poker player is very attractive and much better than the botez bamboozlers, who I don't find attractive at all, their personalities are chalk on a blackboard. |

| Dec-07-23 | | djvanscoy: <...going back to the physical attractiveness issue ... Sadchev gets all the media attention despite Humpy being the way better play.... Life's unfair.> Speaking of unfair, this comment is somewhat unfair to Tania Sachdev, who is a very good player. (Good enough to warrant getting her name right.) |
