Geeks Are Not Immune From the Laws of Nature



It shouldn't come as any shock that two men would fight over this woman but it was funny to hear that that men who came to blows over her were grandmaster chess champions.

THE heart of an Australian chess queen at the centre of a dance-floor brawl between two grandmasters appears to have been captured by one of the errant knights.

Arianne Caoili, dubbed the Anna Kournikova of chess, ignited a jealous clash between a rising Armenian star and a top British player after a tournament in Turin.

The 19-year-old's energetic dancing with Levon Aronian, the world's No. 3, provoked Englishman Danny Gormally to fight for the queen.

Witnesses had to separate the men after Gormally, who had been drinking, barged across the Hiroshima Mon Amour nightclub and either punched or shoved the Armenian to the ground.


It just goes to show that women can have brains and beauty. It also goes to show that hyper-intelligent dorks are not immune from the most basic urges of human nature. The shocking part for me was that there were grandmaster chess players dancing.
