I would lose this game.

I would, however, insist on playing again and again.

I don't know if this was the intention of the photo- but I laughed my ass off when I saw it.

Okay, I'm a geek. I confess, the first thing I thought of was "Huh. That WOULD be a staggeringly interesting study. What effect would playing against a moderately attractive and completely nude female have on a chess master's rating?"

I mean, all the criteria are measurable. The game is free of any randomness, the rating is a reliable measure of skill, so the net result of playing against attractive naked women can have a statistically measurable effect.

Wouldn't that be interesting to know?

Depends on the chess skills of the players.

I'm presuming a simple relational loss. IE., -10% to rating (or whatever). In such case, I imagine the original rating (as a number) of the master matters less than...I dunno, perhaps age? ?Maybe?

A suitable frame for the Large Glass.
