Says girls are not good enough. Loses to girl. Saw it coming from miles away!

Leela_03

thank you!  I won't have to read it now.Laughing

So I was right...

Again, not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with him, but the fact that there exist a few women who are GMs does not disprove the idea in general. He lost a few games to probably the strongest woman player in history. That doesn't render his idea invalid in the slightest. Anyone who responds to his claims by bringing up that he has losses to GM Polyar in the past probably lacks rhetorical understanding, as it is a basic version of an ad hominem attack.

but women don't give much of a toss about chess in general, so what are you saying ?

lol. "If at first you don't succeed, pretend you weren't interested". Most men don't give much of a toss about chess in general either. Most men and most women don't give much of a toss about mathematics, physics, engineering... the question is, once you're dealing with those who are interested, is there a visible difference between the sexes?

If you were rated 2700+ wouldn't you be full of yourself?

Yes Gil, it's important to know if men outrank women, i think that became irrelevant though after the age of 7.

Well, I guess Nigel Short might be good at Chess, but did he build his own house, like I did? I wonder if he can say that! I don't think he would be good at it, lol ....ha ha!Laughing

Winning at Chess doesn't necessarily mean that you are smarter than anyone else......it's just that you were watching more closely....sometimes, that's all it takes.......

Leela_03

I do not feel inferior to anyone, but  a lot of men play the domination role, because they are inferior to women!

Leela_03

Oh , but...but....men seem to always make it a big deal, especially if they get beaten by women!UndecidedInnocent
