Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
The players look real stupid wearing all that advertisment.
It would be much better to have the ads on the chessboard instead.
I think the stupid one is the one named Pelle….
Do you think we can read ads better on the chessboard?
Chess needs money badly..
It’s OK for race car drivers, but stupid for chess players???
Race car drivers are supposed to be stupid enough to risk their lives for money.
So it looks quite OK on them.
But these four players have lots of money.
They do not need to prostitute themselves.
Race drivers have much more money than chess players so I don’t get your point at all.
Hey stupid Pelle, its not only chess players who “prostitute” themselves like this.
We got bowlers, billiard players, golfers, even boxers have advertisements mark on their bodies coz they dont have shirts on. But they also have ads on theirs shorts, soccer players, the list goes on and on…moron….
