Businessmen and top models faced off in a Moscow chess tournament aimed at overturning the stickiest prejudice about models – that their logical skills don't extend beyond colour co-ordination.
Most of the models had learned chess as children and brushed up on their skills before the event held at a trendy Moscow restaurant.
“We've gathered to reverse the stereotype that most models are dumb. It's not true – we all combine a modelling career with university studies,” said model Olga Sherstova.
