For the ladies interested in chess...

LMAO, I saw this set at the KDM Crystals store!
Always open with the Queen's Pawn versus the King's Pawn. It is a much stronger position.
Most of the remaining opening moves only work against players who are not familiar with countering them. I've never liked the Queen's Gambit (pawn to D4+C4 openings) against an experienced opponent. Queen's Gambit does bugger up a weak opponent for a while, however it leaves white's front row exposed. Once the black has chance to play for position and to gain the initiative, then the D4+C4 opening leaves white vulnerable. In particular, if the moves go Queen's Pawn to D4, Queen's Pawn to D5, Queen's Bishop's Pawn to C4, King's Knight to F6, C4xD5, F6xD5, then black effectively has the initiative. Countering with King's Pawn to E4 is particularly ineffective, because White's queen is protecting D4. With with no pawn's for cover, white's queen is open to attack, and the threat of the attack can often be used to gain at a one pawn advantage (or a significant position advantage).
To break 1500 you should review all the key opening moves, and how to counter them. It will not be as easy to bluff a 1500 player with strange opening moves, and they may use some of these unorthodox openings against you. Be on the lookout for Queen's Gambit Reversed - a popular counter against an unusual white opening.

Fascinating blend of chess and vintage eroticism, with a rather entertaining text provided by Google Translate. The cheesecake photos aren't quite as spicy as classic Varga, but they really do capture the spirit of seductive tease that WWII American pin-up artists exploited.
Love the combo of patriotic audio and "wholesome" sexual imagery in this video:
Also some very cool photos. I particularly dig this one
of the entertainers entertaining themselves between shows:
And this op-art photo with that retro '60s reek of chic is an instant classic:
I lol'ed at the caption in the article:Also some very cool photos. I particularly dig this one

"It looks like the girls are analyzing some variation of the English opening".
LOL!!!This is also an interesting move ... I see mate in two moves also ...
NO freaking way to both of you(s).....
Thanks for ideas.
I'm very familiar with the Queen's Gambit, as white and black; and usually prefer to follow d4 with c4 and take the spatial advantage.
Right now, I'm focusing on a strong Queen side play, I find the 1300 + guys tend to be very tight and passive.
It's frustrating cos all my wins are exciting check mates due to opening lines, combinations, sacrificing minor pieces to open castles, yet, the intermediate players are content with a long drawn out boring win; too defensive and a majority of my losses are due to time outs.
