	This appeals to my sense of bad humour - the thingy enlargement sponsorship even more so.

	Hi. I too am surprised. As this subsides I am mostly left wondering about the company itself though. Does the company cater to women and men or only women? Is it primarly breastwork they are in to or plastic surgery more generally? Have a nice day.

	It's the flip side of holding a tournament in Iran, where the women were required to cover their hair. From the Guardian article: Quote: I highly doubt Fide would bring a if (sic) thingy (redacted by the forum software) enlargement company to sponsor the men’s World Championship. --another titled female chess streamer Oh they might. What would be the champion's prize?
