This is the perfect example of why all publicity isnt good publicity.

You get "journalists" who know nothing about the real world of chess who make mass generalisations with a smartarse overtone.

I feel sorry for Arianne,total strangers who dont care about chess and never will are going to use her for a few cheap laughs.

Hopefully the tabloids will get bored fairly quickly and move on to something else to make fun of.

Only a complete IDIOT would want the tabloids to stop advertising their sport.
