Chinese player Xu Yuhua is the new Women’s World Chess Champion. In the finals she managed to beat Russian Alisa Galliamova 2.5:0.5. (1 point is a win, .5 is a draw) -=- I think she was handed the crown, though I have yet to see the games. The English page has a horrible English translation, but you can tell what heppened at least. BTW: Why is it that the Chinese have no pretty players?!? (No, it's not a picture of a male player.) - Sat, 22 Apr 2006 12:08am Edited: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 12:13am

Seriously Griphin - Why do you make comments like that?

" Why is it that the Chinese have no pretty players?!? (No, it's not a picture of a male player.) "

It makes me sad for you. You are 38 and you still judge women on whether or not you're atttracted to them. I can tell she is a woman. I didn't need to be told that she isn't a man. In fact, I think her to be beautiful. You'd be lucky to have a conversation with her. Oh ya and in regards to another post you made in another thread that I held back from posting on. Yes, it's too bad that Katie Holmes is with that Tom Cruise guy. I'm sure you do have the "total hots" for her because she is a beautiful young woman. I'm sure that if she were single you'd have your chance.
I think I know why you're single buddy. You say the wrong things sometimes. - Thu, 27 Apr 2006 3:20pm

It was actually a joke... so why aren't there any pretty female players from China?!? But you didn't answer my question, rather you made a comment about me. Sigh... hey I know why I'm single, you apparently don't. See, I don't judge people, sorry, but if you knew me in real life you'd understand, but apparently you don't, not your fault. - Fri, 28 Apr 2006 1:50am Edited: Fri, 28 Apr 2006 1:50am

Boobies, Miss Mesh. I think he's referring to boobies.

Don't worry, though. You've totally got him beat in the girth department. - Fri, 28 Apr 2006 8:04pm Edited: Fri, 28 Apr 2006 8:04pm

Actually, the prettier a female player is the more distracting it can be to a male (or even a female :) player. - Mon, 1 May 2006 10:35am
