On Sunday, Low Plaza saw a woman of great intellect and beauty stride on her steps to challenge the great chess minds of Fair Alma. Not one to avoid a fight, Bwog's Chess Correspondent Chris Morris-Lent took up his pawn and rook in an epic battle on 64 wooden squares.
It's been said that "chess is a sea in which a gnat can drink and an elephant can bathe" (Indian proverb), and "chess is mental masturbation" (Bobby Fischer). So how would you classify twenty-nine dorky men (and a few women), including yours truly, participating in a simultaneous exhibition against Grandmaster Alexandra Kosteniuk, a prodigy and sex symbol who was both 1000 rating points higher and 1000 times hotter than the bulk of the participants?
