No doubt you've heard of how Nona Gaprindashvili is suing Netflix.

Here's another news story from the world of women's chess:

https://www.chess.com/news/view/fide-announces-breast-implant-company-as-womens-world-championship-sponsor

Given the very limited commercial appeal of chess in general, and
women's chess in particular (as opposed, say, to women's beach
volleyball) I suppose FIDE must take sponsors where they can find
them...

but I hardly need to describe what women who play chess well must
be thinking of this...

I have since learned that the article on Chess.com seems to have
mischaracterized the business of Establishment Labs. Instead,
they help women obtain breast reconstruction after a mastectomy
for cancer, which makes them a legitimate medical supplier. This
is noted on the FIDE web site.
