NM Bramblyspam: You only picked Andrew Soltis and Jeremy Silman.....still waiting for #3......
No flame wars here.
Drawing false conclusions about the "relationship" skills of others is inappropriate. I'm not trying to be mean to you. I'm just commenting. Good luck with your Chess travels. You're a strong player. FM is within your reach......

Either of the Muzychuk sisters. 8-) Sorry, Yasser, you'd be my first choice but... well. You know.

Dan Heisman. I feel like he'd just emanate chess wisdom regarding improvement and common sense in any conversation.
That's the impression I got when he gave me a free improvement consultation over the phone.

Considering that anyone who is a NM or higher could tell me more than I'd comprehend about chess over dinner, I'd rather go with someone who is a good conversationalist in general and also has interest in other subjects I like: politics, music, sports, etc.
Off the top of my head, Kasparov would be a good choice.
Then again, does Jessica Alba play chess?
If not Alba, then Jessica Basland - Je parle le Francais!

MickinMD: Wow. Excellent contribution to this thread by you! Somehow, I don't think that Jessica Alba would choose to spend a significant amount of time on Chess, but maybe she would play you a game? (Her husband could be the arbiter of your game)
Jessica Basland has a Chess set in front of her! (Hope it wasn't edited into the picture.....). Is she a tournament Chess player?

Tania Sachdev, Alexandra Botez, Monika Seps, Anastasia Gavrilova, Alexandra Kosteniuk.
i'd echo piperose --- boris spassky seems like a true gentlemen, he'd have RJF tales. and korchnoi - imagine playing - i think it was karpov? - for the world championship and he's a defector but the commies (sorry, no offense) are holding his son hostage and i believe falsely imprisoned him... but, maybe korchnoi is no fun.... botvinnik seems well educated (an engineer by training) and everything.... but, maybe russians are no fun (as evidenced by our american film and cartoon industry)............
Hungarian cuisine is excellent.
Garry Kasparov best Champion ever! He's forgotten more about chess than most ever knew!
I'd go with Caruana. And it wouldn't be a boring dinner, I'd take him to strip club for drinks and visual fun. He seems like kind of guy who could use all that, someone to take him out of his 64-square world and show him an entertaining night. Then we'd end up somewhere half drunk at a 24hr diner for breakfast at 6 in the morning. So you see, I'd be doing him a privilege by him hanging out with me.
I most certainly imagine most of you taking him to dinner and asking him boring chess questions or things about his Italian heritage. Man, you guys are the worst.
Stefan Levitsky, to ask him how he spent the rest of his day on that 20th day of July, 1912 after Marshall played the "shower of gold" queen sac against him.
What on earth do you do after a game like that?
Enrico Sevillano. Great guy and fun to play pai gow with.
