Recently I landed an interview with with Russian WGM and hottie, Natalia Pogonina.  She's a really cool chick aside from being awesome at chess. Check it out.

I know I should comment on her play, experience, or tournament history or something but I have to: Ms. Pogonina is cute! Embarassed

Now that I'm past that, I would love a more in depth interview, perhaps with her thoughts on women in chess and women-only titles. It's discussed around here a lot, but mostly by men!

NP: Height is by far not the most important dimension for a man (smiles)

Size of bankroll is sometimes the most important dimesion. Wink

Excellent in depth interview. After reading that I'm sure my rating shot up 150 points.
