Magnus Carlsen, Fashion Model
So the highest rated player in the world, 19-year old Magnus Carlsen of Norway, has launched a career on the catwalk. http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2010/07/fashion-model-magnus-carlse...
There is no reason, of course, that chess players cannot excel in other fields.Andre Danican Philidor was a composer Vassily Smyslov had a wonderful baritone voice, but failed in an audition with the Moscow Opera, Botvinnik as an engineer won some sort of prize for his work during WWII. Mark Taimanov was a concert pianist.
What would be the perfect complementary career for a grandmaster? Perhaps a rock-and-roll star. Or a champion athlete. (Chess-boxing, anyone?) But I think the ultimate would be an international spy. The James Bond type.

Great post! Carlsen appears to have a chess face on even in modeling. I think Shredder was designed to boost egos (even I beat it).

I'm sure that the full-featured version of Shredder is quite strong. I just tried the online version on Susan Polar's site to confirm your assessment. I think it must be set to evaluate positions after one move. It missed a couple of simple two-move threats during the game.

Two Cult Survivor commented on Two Cult Survivor's blog post My first funeral as an atheist"Well said. And let me add that I am not really upset with my brother. I am upset at how religion has robbed from him the recognition that we lost something really great, for good.
Hate the religion, not the religious.
