Not to play, just to look. And a lot of players were obviously distracted by gawking at the chess moms, probably wondering what they look like naked.<br /><br />Now this wouldn't apply to you; it's not like any good-looking guys actually go to chess tournaments.The Mascothttp://www.liquideggproduct.com/noreply@blogger.com
