I should be tarred and feathered. But I can't help but notice how stunningly HOT Natalia Pogonina is! We're talking smoking hot... "who the hell is that" walking down the street hot. And the fact that she's extremely intelligent and an amazing chess player makes her even hotter.
I'd say it's ridiculous that the one and only time we have a GM on this site and willing to answer questions, people begin to pollute the forums with stuff like this. There are plenty of attractive women out there, but a chess site is not the appropriate place for such a discussion. Wonder why there aren't more strong players here when chess players take up such an attitude?
The simple fact is that the majority of players don't seem interested in the chess aspect of the chess site.

Yes, I'm sure most strong players fear posting on here lest some of the focus be on their physical beauty.

But in this case we're talking about someone who uses her appearance to market herself, as well as one who writes about chess and sexuality.

Yes, and the sky is blue, the sun is yellow, water is wet, and BP shouldn't have left the car unattended while the pump was running. I can't believe all of the obvious things I'm suddenly starting to notice. That is why this post is so dull.
To think that a pretty girl is a pretty girl is nothing to be ashamed of. To think it so much that you have to tell the whole internet is a different matter entirely. Surely there is a pretty girl you see every day that you could announce such affection for. At least then your infatuation might be rewarded. She might even play chess.

Yeah, I agree. Attractive women who are world class chess players are a dime a dozen.
Sorry for announcing it on a chess website. I guess I'm not as cyber cool as you.

Yeah she's definitely gorgeous... After seeing her picture I couldn't help but speculate what would happen if she played Magnus Carlsen and his raging 19 year old hormones lol. He'd probably lose in 20 moves...
