For your information, I happen to be in love with this girl:

who happens to be a chess player (FIDE Chess Profile).


(I want to make clear that "in love" doesn't mean the she knows that I exist, but I don't mind, I've already accepted she's unreachable.)

I'm sorry if this question sounds rude I don't mean it to be, but I don't notice too many visually attractive chess players. You've been to tournaments, most of them look like Dustin Diamond (Screech from Saved by The Bell - who's a USCF member btw).

 

Look at Karpov, Carlsen, Nigel Short just to name a few.

 

My theory is that they were socially isolated and developed chess skills in ther isolation.

 

Thoughts?

Turn off Photobooth and stop playing so many games against the computer and maybe your opinion will improve.

Attractiveness is really about being symmetrical. If you imagine a vertical plane running from the top of the head to the floor, then an attractive person is one in which there is very little deviation between the left side and the right side of the plane. This is seen a lot in athletes as this symmetry through the body means that the left side and right side match for muscular size, giving better balance and tend to be better at sport as a result. I would guess that chess players like most folks are a-symmetrical.

In Norway there are a lot of goodlooking chessplayers. The best players here are physically very fit, because they believe that a strong body better supports a strong brain. They do physically workout regurlarly. Our first GM ever, Simen Agdestein is a tall well buildt soccerplayer that actually scored goal for our national football team.

A typical Nowwegian chessplayer

 

Actually I dont believe in bodybuilding, because all those muscles eat oxygen. Its better to have a good oxygencapasity, because this gives an edge  playing in crowded halls, suffering from air with much carbondioxyd and little oxygen. When I was fifteen, my oxsygencapasity was fantastic, 61 ml pr kilogram bodyweight, and I was more intelligent than ever, and won the clubchampionship in Åsnes chessclub.  I did back then also compete in forestrunning with map and compass.
