Swinging Swede Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yes, she is a huge talent, obviously the greatest female since Judit Polgar. But a chess babe? I offer you instead from the Olympiad: Viktorija Beinoraite, Lithuania, 2047 Khadidja Latreche, Algeria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave James Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 This just in: Chess and cleavage – dress code story in the media This should serve to limit the "moves" a male opponent might be considering to those on the chess board.

Ted O'Reilly Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Um, Dave... In your signature line is this an accurate quotation?: "It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again." That first *of* seems wrong. And maybe credit should be given to the author of the source novel 'Shoeless Joe' W.P. Kinsells, rather than a fictional character. Or perhaps the screenplay writer -- I don't know which writer wrote the actual quotation. (Edited to clarify).

Or perhaps the screenplay writer -- I don't know which writer wrote the actual quotation. (Edited to clarify). I just cut and pasted the this. Didn't notice the extra "of". With respect to the quote, as nearly as I can determine, neither it nor its more famous cousin, "If you build it, he will come." is from the book. Terrence Mann is the movie equivalent of J.D. Salinger, who was in Kinsella's original novel. As to the attribution, I appreciate the thought, but I'm more interested in the message itself than I am in who wrote it.

Thanks for the correction -- it makes sense now, and it's a fine quotation. (Go Blue Jays!) I still disagree with your attribution, though. I think the writer should be credited, whether that's W.P. Kinsella in the novel "Shoeless Joe", though as you say it may not be in the book; or the screenwriter/director of "Field of Dreams", Phil Alden Robinson.
