I haven't come across anyone else but surely I'm not the only one. I know somebody who got a certain poker hand (Jack-Ten) tattooed on his arm. I feel that mine is less "tacky", although people approach mine with mixed results. |

Message: *** Seems like an interesting idea & your Knight looks good ... maybe more players will go in for it if they see yours. Doesn't seem tacky at all to me. Personally, I see it as expressive Art, like the game itself. Are you thinking of adding to the "set" ? }8-) |

Message: The only kind of tattoo I've considered getting is something along the lines that Tyler Florence (from Food Network) got. He says his favorite is this tattooed script that he got from a Buddhist monk. It sounds cool. But then I figured that the ink probably has some kind of metal in it. If I ever have to undergo an MRI, I'd rather it be as painless as possible. |

Chess news: Barden on Chess -- China's golden girl Hou Yifan, 14, is closing in on a record-breaking grandmaster title at men's level. Last week Hou won the Ataturk women's invitational in Istanbul with an unbeaten 7/9 and a rating performance well above the required 2600 points. Normally an all-female chess event would not count for the open GM title but two of her rivals were full GMs and a third awaited title ratification, so she should be going for her third and final GM norm when she competes in Merida, Spain, next week, where the top seed is the England No1 Michael Adams. Hou can become a GM nearly a year younger than the all-time No1 female chess player, Judit Polgar. It is less than two decades since many experts argued that women could never achieve the highest male standards, and even after ... Telegraph chess: Now for second place -- Levon Aronian kept it solid against Vladimir Kramnik, securing two draws and the overall first place with a round to spare of the 17th Amber Rapid and Blindfold Chess at Nice. Aronian maintained his 2.5 point lead as his rivals were unable to narrow the gap. Now it is only a battle for second place in the last round between Magnus Carlsen, Kramnik, Peter Leko and Veselin Topalov. Vishy Anand is out of the running after an entertaining 1-1 draw with Boris Gelfand as black won both games in the Slav Defence. B Gelfand – V Anand; Amber Blindfold (10) Nice; Slav Defence; 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 e6 5.e3 Nbd7 6.Bd3 dxc4 7.Bxc4 b5 (The Meran Variation) ... Telegraph chess: Aronian plays a blinder -- Levon Aronian was three times a winner at the Amber Rapid and Blindfold Chess at Nice. As well as winning overall, Aronian won the Rapid Chess and shared first in the Blindfold with Vladimir Kramnik, Alexander Morozevich and Veselin Topalov. World chess champion Vishy Anand scored below 50% at Rapid Chess, the first time I can recall him doing that. Final scores overall: 1 Aronian 14.5/22; 2-5 Carlsen, Kramnik, Leko, Topalov 12; 6-8 Anand, Ivanchuk, Morozevich 11; 9 Karjakin 9.5; 10-12 Gelfand, Mamedyarov, Van Wely 9. The British Women's Chess Association held the National Girls Championships at the Elmbank House, York, in February. The chess event was opened by the Lord Mayor of York Irene Waudby.
