Discipline means not being distracted
Hopefully Robert Cowley, who plays chess for “mental exercise, social interaction, discipline and prestige”, has been able to improve the discipline part of his game since this incident in 1998.
He played for an Australian state championship versus one Ms. Ngan Koshnitsky, and lost 4-2. He complained that her cleavage was a distraction, preventing him from fully concentrating.
By the way, you can note that Koshnitsky’s breasts are not significantly sized.
(As an aside, if any of you ladies try this “strategy” against me, don’t bother, ’cause it doesn’t work. Complete nudity may; I’ve never played chess against a nude chick before.)
You men. You can’t do things right so you blame it on us. “she drove me to cheat on her ’cause she was too tired all the time”…”she’s too SUCCESSFUL FOR ME! why can’t she just fail to make me look good??”…”Oh, Eve TOLD me the apple was ok…” At least most people have the sense to respond with derision. I cringe at the freaks who *may* just say “right on”.

We need someone to pin our failures on.

I’m disappointed in you, Donnie. I suspected that your first order of business would be to prove or disprove the man’s claim. You’d have to find a few women to play against you in chess with revealing tops and yes, also give them knight’s odds. It’s for the good of your website.

Annie: Bad idea! Women must take the blame.
Allen: Excellent idea! I’ll get around to advertising it after getting a thumbs up or down from Chiu.
