| Apr-20-05 | | fenno: There is an interesting note in this player's history. -> Robert Crowley (sic) claims he may have won his third State chess championship if his opponent's breasts had not got in the way. Mr. Crowley, 50, claims he was unable to keep his eyes off Ngan Koshnitsky's cleavage. Part-way through the six-round South Australian state contest he complained to organizers about the 24-year-old reigning Australian women's champion's penchant for revealing tops. Miss Koshnitsky beat Mr. Crowley 4-2 in last month's competition. She said yesterday that unlike most of her chess-playing counterparts she liked wearing sexy clothes, but said "it shouldn't be an issue at all". His complaint against her manner of dress was nothing more than a stupid excuse for losing. "It makes me angry that he didn't think I was good enough to win," she said. "I believe that most men can't accept losing a game against a woman." - What do you think? |

I think it's just a bad excuse. |

: ) |
|
| Apr-21-05 | | Karpova: crowley is obviously exaggerating and thereby makes a fool of himself. |
|
| Apr-21-05 | | PivotalAnorak: <theslid> LOL ! So true ! |
|
| Apr-21-05 | | Karpova: is there anything notable about her except from her cleavage? |
|
| Apr-21-05 | | fenno: Let me continue on previous issue a while. :)
The article <Karpova> links calls the man Cowley. My opinion is that Cow-/Crowley most probably did not lie that he experienced problems he described during the match, because he should have known that he was to be ridiculed about his 'confession'. I do not know if or how much he exaggerated his difficulties, though. In any case, he should have complained to his opponent during the match and not only after he lost the match (but he was a coward). A gentleman would not behave like he did. |
|
| Apr-22-05 | | Karpova: I think that only a man who has several problems could get distracted by his female opponent's clothing in such a way as described by Mr C(r)owley. Chessplayers do better if they watch the chessboard instead of their (female) opponent. That's what chess is about. |

 | | Benzol: Looks like she might be the daughter-in-law of Gregory Koshnitsky. |
|
| Jun-22-05 | | Runemaster: The surname of the man in question is Cowley - a master from South Australia. I'm not sure, but Ngan might be the grand-daughter of Gary (Gregory) Koshmitsky. |

| Jan-05-08 | | Jim Bartle: Aren't you supposed to be looking at the board? Then again, maybe he used that method I've seen in Tal photos, with the eyes down at the level of the board... |

| Feb-18-09 | | Marmot PFL: I had a woman try that with me once, so I told her to save it for after the game (which she said "wasn't very nice"). She wore the same dress for a simul with Browne and he just laughed at her. |

i read that Australian IM Mark Chapman once protested his losing title match against Australian WIM Ngan Koshnitsky. He claimed he lost because his attention always drifted from the board to the plunging neckline of his opponent. this may be the attacking style of WIM Koshnitsky - Plunging Neckline Attack.. :) |

 | | FSR: There once was a lass named Ngan,
who won the state championship from a man.
He said in distress,
<'twas because of her breasts,though I don't know if that was her plan.> |
