can chess be sexy?









I discovered this chess variant: Strip chess! Everytime a piece (except for the pawns) is captured the player who lost that must remove a clothing!
Now, that is "chexxy"


Lisa, you've raised raised the sexiness of chess by 1 taa (taa being the unit measure of sexiness, of course)
seriously, Anything can be described as sexy: as a physicist and mathemetician, Ive seen proofs described as sexy, I've even heard computer code called sexy...
I suppose it has more to do with the euphoria of solving a particularly difficult problem in a novel, ellegant way, something that adds beauty to the universe, ...., that's sexy..... as for the euphoria, .... the problem solving kind I mean, it's better than any drug: Discovering something new, that no other human being has ever thought of before, is like locking eyes with God for just a split second, and seeing all the Truth that Is inside them......
A bit of a tangent, I know, but you kind of caught me in a philosophical mood. You can feel that way, sometimes, while playing chess too, especially when you know that solving that problem means that you are going to win!! That mean nasty feeling of knowing you are going to absolutely crush your opponent.... Damn sexy!
Ive heard chess being described as art but can it be sexy? Apparently football can so why not chess?
