Distractions

Surely you would not want to get distracted during a game, and certainly not enough so as to risk letting it hurt your play. Personally, I believe that when an opponent tries to distract you, then it is something similar to cheating.

But what of the spectators, or the other players? Some things are just inevitable or unavoidable. You need to build a defence against distractions: try being INDIFFERENT!

This theme of INDIFFERENCE, particularly as it relates to chess, has been creatively explored by the brilliant Ukraine photographer Ruslan Lobanov, who has published dozens of wonderful photos where nudity is completely natural and where absolutely nobody gets distracted by it.
