Why does not Aleksandra Goryachkina smile in chess tournament posters?

I don't know whether it belongs here or not. But this question has bugged me a lot - I have never seen a poster of a chess tournament where Aleksandra Goryachkina is smiling. I know she does smile, but why do poster makers choose her serious continence (lossking at you chess.com), and in contrast everyone else's smiling ones.

she's there for chess, my guess is she wants people to focus on her chess not her appearance.

I think you mean "countenance"- her face.

Continence refers to bladder control

I just assumed she had a more phlegmatic personality. Is she more expressive off camera?
