This is kind of a side-note, but any time chess comes up on here I smile at the resurgence in interest via Twitch/Blitz. I’m a miserable chess player but I fucking love watching it.
Carlson playing the Botez sisters in Blitz may be a publicity stunt, but the best chess player in the world is also model-photogenic and surrounded by serious fucking players who also photograph well?
Good for the game.

- triyambakam 4y agoSorry but I don't see how Carlsen is model level at all. He's nearly actively ugly how his jaw sticks out like he missed his orthognathic surgery as a child.
- thefringthing 4y agoA lot of professional models are kind of odd-looking; it makes their appearance striking.
- benreesman 4y agoI mean sure! I wasn’t referring to Magnus as model-photogenic because of my subjective opinion: I was referring to his mucho lucrative, multi-year deal as the male face of G-Star. His female counterpart is Liv Tyler, better known as Arwen Udomiel Evenstar around these parts.
