Not to be criticizing anyone's looks, but why was that scowling picture of him chosen? I am sure there must be other pics. Stwils

And to think they likely had hundreds of shots to choose from, and that's the one they selected!  G-star must be going after the low-self-esteem-I-need-to-buy-something-to-generate-a-tough-image target market.

What does he look life when he is not scowling? I never saw a pic of any chess player that looked so unpleasant and ugly. Stwils

Thanks for the pics. Any one of them would been better than that ugly, contorted one they chose.
