She's hot, she plays a mean game of chess and the boys are fighting over her - literally. I can't get enough of this story about Arianne Caoili, one of Australia's top female chess players and the nightclub punch-up over her. Read the story here and her official website is here and read The Closet Grandmaster's blog for the latest details.
I saw this last night and was wondering why you hadnt yet mentioned it. I would love to learn to play chess but after being beaten by my 5yo cousin at checkers... three times in a row.. I dont like my chances of ever being any good.

I can understand them fighting over a beauty like her but just look at the gorks doing the punching!
I am 22 stone, got bad breath, smelly feet and only rated 97 (ecf)(1735) but If those two can get her attention then theres hope for me yet!

you're only a few tic-tacs away from her undying love Adrian, I'm quite sure. Care to come on my podcast to talk about chess?
