It is in checkers!

And in checkers, you get to crown your opponent.

An aspiring model who uses her good looks to promote chess, Kosteniuk has been compared to Russian tennis knockout (and Miami Beach, Fla., resident) Anna Kournikova. (Kosteniuk debunks the comparison by noting that she has won individual tournaments, a feat the other Russian cannot claim.)

OK, so you're not the "Anna" of International Chess. You're the "Danika Patrick" of International Chess!

In relative ppower inherent in the chess pieces, you just can’t beat the bishop.

Good catch! LOL I didn't see that. It tells me where your mind is. (Probably the same place as mine.)

Get your mind out of the gutter.

The best women's chess player in the world

Not really. Judit Polgar would beat her three games out of four. She is currently tied for ninth, and is a grandmaster. Perhaps it should be "The best-looking woman grandmaster chess player in the world."

Unfortunately, she comes from an evil country and, even worse, has an ANNOYING accent!

Did Polgar not participate in the Women’s World Championship?
