Elizabeth Paehtz is easily the best looking female chess player.
(I have her autograph).

The tale about me posing as a female C.C. player (Mrs Greenpawn)
is true. I have the medal to prove it.

lol, yes Duchess, it is true, alas she is just a dream and I but a dreamer. my only hope is to progress so fast that i will become world champion before she marries and then appeal to her intellect through my chess games hoping eventually to reach her heart!
Apparently she had a real thing for old, ugly Scottish men but after waiting for years for one to ask her out she eventually plumped for someone who fitted two out of the three criteria.
Seriously though, she married her longtime manager. Susan Polgar did that as well. Maybe that's the way to a female chess player's heart.

The post that was quoted here has been removedhi, truly an inspirational post Duchess!, i got it all worked out, if her husband is twice her age, that would make him forty eight, with a life expectancy of say seventy, perhaps eighty years maximum, he has twenty two years to live at which age Alexandra will be a mere forty six and still quite attractive in every sense, now all i need to do is fifty tactical exercises every day, my rating will increase by at least one hundred points per year, taking into consideration holidays and illness, at present it will take me a mere thirteen years to reach two thousand eight hundred, give or take a few years of inwardly spiraling self analysis and a mid life crisis, it could still be done in the allotted time!
and its not a problem if she doesn't like my chess, maybe she can dig my guitar playing or Scottish accent.
in all seriousness it has been my experience that ladies really like individuals who dignify them by really listening to them, in a genuine and concerted way, not just communication, but meaningful communication I have found is quite important, as for me, i could listen to that sing song for ages!

faking this is most dangerous, kind of like some crazy gambit, you may get away with it now and again but once youre caught, man your doomed!

The post that was quoted here has been removedmmm, i don't so much see you as an aunt, more a confidant, or perhaps an advocate, (from original Greek word paraclete, one who stands beside and pleads on anothers behalf).
would she understand my rather broad Scottish accent, well, she would understand the language of love, no doubt, and now here i am chuckling away to myself like some infatuated schoolboy, i would read her the poetry of Robert Burns, (apparently the Russians adore the poetry of Burns, I even heard that it is part of curriculum but have no may of proving this and anyhow it does not translate very well, even into English it loses its vitality) and we would look at chess positions and the games of masters and some of her games and live happily ever after.
yes you are correct about public persona as opposed to the private person and even here there are different levels, i remember reading a Graham Greene novel, The Quiet American, about a love triangle set in Vietnam i think, anyhow there is a famous portion when he asks does anyone really know anyone anyway, a father a son, a husband a wife, a brother a sister etc etc, which reminds me of something rather similar, 'If you assume you know who I am after reading only this profile, you are foolish. If you are foolish enough, you will keep making that assumption', yes it is baseless and truly futile to base anything on an assumption, i know, i hang my chess pieces like this all the time!
