Arianne Caoili began playing chess at the age of six.

She has been ranked the seventh most beautiful female chess player by the World Chess Beauty Contest.[2]

In June 2006 it was reported that the British Grandmaster Danny Gormally had thrown a punch at Armenian Grandmaster Levon Aronian in a Turin nightclub during the chess Olympiad. Gormally apparently became jealous when he saw Aronian dancing with Caoili. [3][4]
