Chess, potpourri and nonsense!
MY YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY
MY YEAR WITH CANCER
‘Which leads me to the blog! I desire to feel as great as I can during this time. I still want to be sexy, to take risks, to challenge what even I view as beautiful. So I’m pulling out all the stops. This is not time to bust out a beanie and hide. I’m going to try to live as loudly as I can. Cancer is not just an old person’s game anymore. There are many young, vibrant and fashion loving women out there who want to look their best, even when we’re feeling like crap. On this blog, I’m going to share my beauty tips, fashion ideas and diet changes that have altered my life drastically. And I want your help. If you have ever been affected by cancer, tell me your tips! If you’re just interested in my journey, send a hello or a word of encouragement! But most of all, enjoy! 2015 is my year with cancer. Might as well make it a beautiful one!’ LINK

CHESS NOT HARD WORK IN BRAZIL?
Nino Maisuradze and Alexandr Fier
On ChessDom, one of my favourite chess sites, there is a short interview from Tbilisi with GM Alexandr Fier, who is married with Georgian-born WGM Nino Maisuradze and spends a lot of time in Georgia. Alexandr was spectating the Grand Prix tournament underway.
Alexandr was asked about some comparisons and differences with respect to chess and how it is perceived in Brazil and Georgia:
‘In Georgia they respect chess much more than in Brazil, I think. If you say here that you are a chess player people understand and they think it’s nice. In Brazil sometimes they don’t believe it’s like work.’
