Good morning BNB, I'm no aficionado

by any means, but I remember seeing a piece on Magnus Carlson and his 'chess dad' awhile ago. Thinking back, I suppose that was part an early campaign to promote the sex appeal of the game.

Another event that caught my attention was the "Kasparov vs. The world" drama with 15 year old Irina Krush being the main protagonist
which was briefly discussed here.

Being a typical non fan and drawn to these two stories, if they didn't generate the lasting desired effect, then I suggest Paulson has a long frustrating haul in front of him.
