Maybe, but we can't have people saying they will play and then backing out. The last time was a big failure. Maybe we just need to set it up differently.

I came in on the last one way too late to even try to get in, so you can't lay that one on me... :D

Seriously, lets pump it up and get something going. I'm always looking for a good game -

Looks like I'd better brush up on some of my openings, my gambits and my end game then...

Outside of that I think I'm good. :D

C'mon do we really believe Hou Yifan is 14? ;)

She lacks the same 'talent' as Kosteniuk.

Strangely, she looks a lot older than the Chinese 16-year old gymnasts.

Well, I'll admit, I never would have thought I'd be mildly attracted to a professional chess player...that would have been down the list a ways. I mean, she doesn't hold a candle to many of the women in the Babe Draft, but for a chess player....http://www.rooshv.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/hump.gifhttp://www.rooshv.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/hump.gifhttp://www.rooshv.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/hump.gifhttp://www.rooshv.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/hump.gifhttp://www.rooshv.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/hump.gif
