Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Tatiana and Natalia Pogonina are two most beautiful Russian women players. Are they married?
I was thinking what a wonderful daughter Tatiana would make. I would be so pround of her if she was my daughter. She could teach me all about chess.
Why are the women players required (I suppose) to dress in these silly costumes? The men do not have to do that.
