America’s newest GM Ben Finegold (resident GM at http://saintlouischessclub.org) “secretly” video taping and taking pictures of the last game of round 7 between IM Dean Ippolito and IM Irina Krush.
Dean is at +2 and needs to score +3 for his first GM norm. Irina fought hard to hold for a draw (with assistance by Ippolito).

Is there a reason why CLO isn’t putting a link to the official site of this tournament which is this blog, TTU, or SPICE? They don’t even mention Susan as the organizer of this event. Is this the order of Bill Goichberg and Bill Hall to blacklist people who spoke out against the USCF?
I’ve always thought the marketing of Kosteniuk as a sex kitten is silly, ever since I first became aware of it when reviewing a book of hers. Heck, they startedit when she was just in her early teens, with such Lolita-like shots as this:

but in others she just looks ridiculous:
