Do you have a crush on a certain chessplayer?  Reveal your admiration for that chessplayer - tell us why you like that person.  Come on boys and girls, there's nothing to be ashamed of!  That lucky person is a chess.com member perhaps?

Okay I'll go first.  My crush is Alexandra Kosteniuk.  I like her because she's very talented - and beautiful, of course.  I hope I'll meet her someday, take some photo ops, and have her sign an autograph.

I haven't had this feeling only until recently when I watched her video in YouTube when she was interviewed in CNN.  She's pretty yes that's given, I like the way she talks and what admired me the most is her contribution in popularising chess.

Clearly it is Irina Krush.

Alexandra Kosteniuk for sure.  She's so cute !!

Mariam Mansur, she's very cute.

Too bad they removed that "Sexiest Chess Players" thread (there was one on there I thought was absolutely stunning--as I recall, an eastern European with about a 2000 rating; which admittedly probably doesn't narrow it down much).

What is the likelihood that this thread does not get deleted fairly soon? My best guess is that the thread has approximately 0% chance of survival. But I've been accused of being a wild optimist.

What do you mean by "have fun"?

I mean enjoy the pictures on the link I gave

El_Piton if I'm not mistaken that's Batgirl right?  Or is that someone else using the same avatar?

I met alot of nice girls at chess tournaments from different countries. Theres no benefit for anyone by me posting their names. Lets just say that they were quite good players, not GM level or anything like that, they loved the game of chess and they were very friendly people!

Thankfully we keep in touch! As always, OTB chess is great for meeting new people so i urge you internet geeks to get out and play OTB this summer

There should not be a problem because the purpose of this forum is for you to (bravely) announce to the world who your crush in the chessworld is.  Having a crush or falling in love with someone is not a bad thing at all.  Everybody has their reasons for liking someone, some people are physically attracted and there's nothing we can do about that.  I just discourage frontal nudity here.

i've heard she has been around the board a few times.
