Caption ContestPhotos

This is a photo from a NYT article on the sexing up of chess. Their caption was: “The model Carmen Kass in a five-minute blitz match against Viswanathan Anand last year.” I’m sure our readers can do better than that, especially given his … interesting expression.

Man thinks to himself:

If I just put my hand here on my mouth and pretend to be looking down she'll think I'm in deep thought and I can get a good view of her rack every ten seconds - great angle

"I'm going to close my eyes and pretend that she is 7 of 9 and that this is a three dimensional chess board"

Mommy! She's almost naked! I can't look! I can't look! Oh my - I wonder if she can see my ... reaction through the table! All the blood is draining out of my brain!

Maybe the caption should be another picture, that of Vijaypat Singhania in the post below.

Carmen: Jawohl, I have das kleine Indianisch man in der palm of mein hand with this wicked endgame strategy.

Vishwanathan: Ayyo, such a shapely form she has, maybe I offer her my Coke and she'll give me her number... damn, checkmate already?!

"Vinod gets in touch with his inner queen"

Carmen : "Is that a bomb in his pocket or is he just pleased to see me ?"

Viswanathan: "If I bite my finger hard enough it might go back down.....Oh my God, I hope she doesn't notice what I'm doing with my left hand....."

***Dreaming***
(obviously asleep)
Zzzzzzz
Dream Seqence
Vishwanathan: Mere sapno ki rani kaba ayegi tu?
(While Carmen runs around the tree hiding her face)

Anand:

"Hai."

Viswanathan thinking "I can finish her off, but i'll just extend the game a little longer"

As Kasparov met his match with Deep Blue, Anand found his in Deepblue ballz.

Too tired to come up with captions myself. :)

Trust Seinfeld to provide me with a quote that works for chess and the situation :)

Simi Garewal asked Vishy Anand on her celebrity show that where he thinks his sex applies lies:

The answer was classic

How could you ask such an embarrasing question?


 43 · Jai Singh on November 30, 2005 06:41 AM · Direct link · “Quote”(?)

Viswanathan (biting his finger to stop himself from screaming): "That's the biggest right hand I've ever seen !!! It's the size of her head !!! Aarrgh.....the horror.....the horror....."


 44 · venkat on November 30, 2005 06:43 AM · Direct link · “Quote”(?)

Anand: "Hey baby, want to see my Ruy Lopez opening?"


 45 · Bong Breaker on November 30, 2005 01:24 PM · Direct link · “Quote”(?)

PRETTY VACANT: Three minutes in and Estonian model Carmen Kass still hasn't noticed Vishy Anand has replaced his knight with a mini-Coke bottle.

Saheli that chessboxing link was nuts. My favourite line, when introducing the lawyer was

"He fights for your rights, while he smites with the right!"

Rhyming a word with itself, classic. I've played shot-glass chess, which levels the chessboard somewhat when playing someone better than you. But perhaps chessboxing is the way to go, seeing as all the best chess players I know weigh about 7 stone.

My vote goes out to "What can Brown do for you."

And what about this one

Anand in deep thought ...
"Damn Taco Bell"


 49 · Karpov on December 1, 2005 05:56 PM · Direct link · “Quote”(?)

What Can Brown Do You For -

Anand: "I want to mate"
Carr: "Cash or check"
