I think the bishops are better than knights. I also think that knights are better than bishops.
Chess Kings Attack!! Queens are Mental! Is This True?

Bishops are arrogant with their hats.

There is no generalization that you can make about either sex that you can't find exceptions to (except maybe the obvious, like "women don't have penises"). To get all bent about something like this tells me you're easily knocked off balance about your self worth.
As for Fischer, I think he had issues with his mother. That, and he was a product of the sexism of his time.

She has a point
I saw 3 questions. Firstly, sorry Ms. Jean, but i believe you answered your own question. Its not that any individual woman cannot be as good as any individual man; quite the opposite! But, the question is a generalization. So, in general, yes kings are better than queens. Kinda like asking who is better in sports, men or women?. Women are just different, and while they may not be as strong in some areas, they more than make up for it in others! UUhhhhh, the second question I dare not touch with a 10 foot pole!!!!!LOL!!! That's just inviting danger, and i want none of that!!!
Thirdly, yes the sexes are equal!!!! We all start the game with the same number of pieces, in the same positions, with the same time controls. What we do after the first move is the difference!! Also, I like the way you study the topics you post! Tells me that the amount of grey matter or white matter doesn't really matter!(C'mon, that's a good pun!!!
) Its all in the preparation!!(just like many other things in life!)

What do you mean?
CHESS KINGS ATTACK!! QUEENS ARE MENTAL!
IS THIS TRUE ?
In 1962, Bobby Fischer made a well known statement to Harper’s Magazine….
“They’re all weak, all women. They’re stupid compared to men.
They shouldn’t play chess, you know. They’re like beginners. They
lose every single game against a man. There isn’t a woman player in
the world I can’t give knight-odds to and still beat.
Thank You SIR Fischer ! There have been changes since 1962. We enjoy many gifted Chess Queen GM today. Women beat Kings on Chess.com on a regular basis.
Well, except me L !
Still, there is article after article, comment after comment dealing with the equality or NOT, of “Kings vs Queens” in chess.
Things like; the Best Player, the Smarter Opponent, the more Aggressive, the Higher Ranked, and the biggest Prize Money Earner.
Do KINGS and QUEENS have different BRAINS?
Scientists know that men and women have different brains. They thought it was limited to the Hypothalmus which controls sex drive and food intake.
They know that on the average a mans brain is bigger than a womens.
The researchers from Harvard found that parts of the brain were differently sized per gender;
The frontal lobe is larger in Men.
That’s the part of the brain responsible for problem-solving and decision-making.
The limbic cortex is responsible for
Emotional processing in both genders ,
its significantly larger in women. No laughing from the Testosterone Gallery !
The parietal cortex controls space perception .
It’s larger in men. The Spacial Perception skill is essential to achieve master level play in chess.
They amygdale regulates
Sexual and Social behavior ,
it is larger in the male brain too. No laughing from the Estrogen Gallery Now !
Men have 6.5 times more Grey matter in the brain than women .
Grey matter is rich with active neurons just waiting to be set on fire,
and connect to another pathway without a middle man.
This may account for the immediate way men organize their attack plan.
They jump into action quickly, resolve the issue and are ready to go on to the next subject.
Women have about 10 times more white matter than men.
White matter contains complicated neural connections.
Information has to filter down the connections to the neuron before an action can be completed.
A woman's brain might appear more complicated .
On the contrary, researchers found that the neurons
consistently made the connection with a greater degree of accuracy,
in a reasonable amount of time.
So help me out here.
Does this make KINGS Efficient, Energetic, Exciting and therefore
B -B -B -Better Chess Players J?
Does this mean that Queens are Mental and Emotional Blobs
on the side of the board L?
Are the sexes equal in Chess??
