NATALIA POGONINA
Guys... just a side note here - what do u think the chances are that Natalia Pogonina is closely following this thread?
Betcha haven't thought about that huh? I didn't, until just now.
lol, from the beginning, my hope was that she would follow it closely.
Although the intended effect probably wont be there. I'm sure she's flattered someone thinks her risque photos, taken for that purpose, are in fact thought of as risque by some stranger out there on the internet.
Americans are such prudes, wearing pants all the time.

It certainly is! Of course, I don't have a life.
Guys you're making a bigger deal out of this than it should be. I respect Natalia she's a great chess player and role model for girls and guys also. She's very intelligent and knowledgable in many areas. The fact is that she is a chess professional and if you're not at the top of chess world in ratings then it's difficult to have a decent standard of living. Chess grandmasters who are not at the top of the ratings lists don't make much money so they rely on promotional stuff, books, teaching, etc. to supplement their income.
So I'm exaggerating something or you're offering excuses for something. Which is it?
If I'm exaggerating, that's fine, in that case I'm asking her to be consistent. Why ban someone for making casual comments to your casual photos.
If you're offering excuses, I understand. If you gotta do what you gotta do and you don't want someone pointing their finger. In that case the comments on the photo and my comments here are unkind. But in that case also my point about the pictures being risque and inappropriate is correct.
Wafflemaster, you look a bit psycho lying there in those boxes, maybe sitting at a chess board in your underwear would be better?
I'm just saying the way Natalia is going about her career and generating self publicity is a normal thing
(edited my post to elaborate).
Yeah, there's some middleground, and I'm being a little hard on her, but personally I find it all a bit ridiculous (blocking someone for giving her that kind of attention).

Talking about how I should be seen in my underwear just because I post pictures of myself posing this way! How rude!
Waffle you don't know what kind of attention it was, he's a pretty seedy guy.
Maybe.
"You're dreaming of...owning some pants someday!"
"Excuse me we have a dress code here at Chess.com, you're wearing too much"
"Do you like rich men?"

What? I respect you lying there in those boxes, just a little suggestion. Where are we going for dinner?

I gotta see the money first, then we can talk.
Guys you're making a bigger deal out of this than it should be.
Precisely! That's how we have fun around here.
I'm just hoping AndyClifton starts offering the opportunity to go for dinner with him.
Sure! You want some grubs? That's mainly what I eat (when you've got no teeth, you have to make due).

Dude maybe you could try pudding instead. But I guess grubs have more protein. Mmmmmmmm grubs
Don't tell her.
