And instead of saying “I am” it says “I A-M”.

It made me giggle.

Now, with regard to that specific picture, what do you think: would male chess champions dress sloppily for such a photo?

You know what’s really, really sad?
The first thing through my mind was still, “Ooh, she’s pretty.” Which, to be shallow, I suppose gives you another reason to follow women’s chess.

This raised some annoying conflict for me:
On the one hand, why do I want presumably highly intelligent women NOT to wear revealing/shapely dresses and NOT to have to be sexualised? Is that too not an act of sexism, by having a clear divide of “stupid, sexy” and “smart, plain”? On the other hand, isn’t it always undue pressure on any girls to have this “be pretty” constant expectation on top of being a Chess Grandmaster Vice Champion?

That stiff drink is a good recommendation.
