  1. Brains with Beauty, a great combo!!I guess one of the reasons is that women's chess is not that much publicized as compared to men's chess

  3. A well-researched acticle which involved a lot of heart..oops hard-workFound one thing a bit contradictory…The ‘beauties’ are for people who don’t play chess…but it has been collected by a chess player himself
