A new group has been created for women, some big team matches are also planned. The group is called womanly chess.

Join the group here! http://www.chess.com/groups/home/womanly-chess

Thanks.

Are the beards an absolute requirement?

I'm just running it, not playing in it.

Is your beard by any chance blue?

No not blue

Do women play other chess? A knight extra perhaps?

You don't get knights if you're a woman, you get ponies.

not blue ?  bummer!

ok, how about trimming it and sticking the hairs to your chest in the shape of a spider ?

Yes, that sounds good. A spider chest haha! And no red lady, equal starting positions - afterall, women are better than men at chess.

i reckon our "knight" sounds good at day and night, so i think all's cool John!

This is a real co-incidence cos I was thinking of setting up a Manly Chess Group for men only. 

i am in ruby 

Me too :-)

you are a woman, you can't join. sorry 

I've set up a group for people who live in my village, it's going amazingly.

amazingly silent?

Are you by any chance trying to create a 'chess harem'?

   That would be reprehensible and I'm furious at myself for not thinking of it first.

  This is what my chess harem would look like - here the ladies are doing some openings preparation before a big tournament:

You may mock me now, but when internet chess takes off in Sidford in 2020 I will be the one having the last laugh.

that looks like the last supper
