This is very good.
I see one problem.
I don’t know who to root for!

And why is it that womens chess should be taken seriously with stunts like this??
Could it be an April’s fool joke?
There is a free space for a man with grizzled hair?

Discrimination! What about the blacks, reds, grays and balds?

We are awfully sorry to inform you that we have to stop publishing news in English for a period. Try to come and see us after mid-February – we hope we shall be with you again then.
Blondes have more fun.
There was a blonde who found herself sitting next to a Lawyer on an airplane. The lawyer just kept bugging the blonde wanting her to play a game of intelligence. Finally, the lawyer offered her 10 to 1 odds, and said every time the blonde could not answer one of his questions, she owed him $5, but every time he could not answer hers, he’d give her $50.00. The lawyer figured he could not lose, and the blonde reluctantly accepted.
The lawyer first asked, “What is the distance between the Earth and the nearest star?”
Without saying a word the blonde handed him $5. then the blonde asked, “What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes back down the hill with 4 legs?”
Well, the lawyer looked puzzled. He took several hours, looking up everything he could on his laptop and even placing numerous air-to-ground phone calls trying to find the answer. Finally, angry and frustrated, he gave up and paid the blonde $50.00
The blonde put the $50 into her purse without comment, but the lawyer insisted, “What is the answer to your question?”
Without saying a word, the blonde handed him $5.
A blonde had just totaled her car in a horrific accident. Miraculously, she managed to pry herself from the wreckage without a scratch and was applying fresh lipstick when the state trooper arrived.
“My God!” the trooper gasped. “Your car looks like an accordion that was stomped on by an elephant. Are you OK ma’am?”
“Yes, officer, I’m just fine” the blonde chirped.
“Well, how in the world did this happen?” the officer asked as he surveyed the wrecked car.
“Officer, it was the strangest thing!” the blonde began. I was driving along this road when from out of nowhere this TREE pops up in front of me. So I swerved to the right, and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and there was ANOTHER tree! I served to the right and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and there was ….”
“Uh, ma’am”, the officer said, cutting her off, “There isn’t a tree on this road for 30 miles. That was your air freshener swinging back and forth.”
Q: What do you call it when a blonde dies their hair brunette?
A: Artificial intelligence.
A group of chess enthusiasts had checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
“But why?” they asked, as they moved off.
“Because,” he said, “I can’t stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.”
Are we supposed to notice that the blonde team is one player short, as apparently they can’t quite count to ten? 🙂
How do you make a blonde smile on a Monday?
Tell her a joke on Friday.
Hi Susan Polgar,
Well,then it must be a game on the water .[ Though it would have started on the floor – mouth watering Would have flooded the floor – lol ]
Every Nation should consider these type of promotions of the game [ I mean chess – lol. ]
Okay jokes apart – Its really wonderful thought and deed.
