Ruth Haring: 'Girls are bad at chess'

Of course Chess is the only game that scientist from around the world monitor and study - (what the game of chess has on the mind). They have discovered that a person has to use both sides of the brain (Left=lodgic, Right=emotions and problem solving) at the same time and those that study and play the game improve their brain as noted here: http://dimensionalized.com/game/a-reason2play3dgames.php

... the chess-playing experimental group consistently outperformed the control groups engaged in other thinking development programs.

Both men and women will benifit. However most women are right brain thinkers and men are mostly left brain thinkers (generaly speaking). A person can become 50/50.

Therefore it depends on the amount of time one spends on the game.

Of course problem solving without lodgic is just pure fantasy.

Now you say there's an Actual "scientific field" called "quantum biology?!"  Are you Kidding Me?!  

I'm going to go take a nap now.  Maybe after I rest, I can deal with this news more calmly.  Probably not, though.

Generally girls are considered women at the age of 18,or they are "legal" as far as their mental thought process etc. it's no need to get into that,there are grown men who are still just as immature as a 15 year old.  I think it's safe to just accept that boys are considered men at the age of 21 and girls are considered to be women at the age of 18.  I don't know why it has to be so complicated,that's just how things are set.  I will agree that everyone is different and matures differently based on personaly experiences and how they were raised and the like.  

I just don't understand why we can't just stay on topic ugh.  Motherinlaw you claim that "boys" are bad at running the planet but women would be just as bad if not worse,so again what's the point of saying that.  It's just sad that we kind of can't keep talking about CHESS on a thread and WEBSITE meant for Chess....... 

"I think it's safe to just accept that boys are considered men at the age of 21 and girls are considered to be women at the age of 18"

Psychologically it may be easier to mistake a 21 year old man as a kid (whether because of looks, hobbies, etc), compared to a 21 year old woman, but that's just psychological. If I know the ages of a man and woman to be the same, then I consider them just as much or little of an adult. Pretty much, anyway -- I mean at really young ages girls generally mature faster, but that's a totally different stage of life.

Anyway in general, 21 seems to be a better "adult" age than 18. By 18 you're starting to get pretty adult like, (and legally you are in many respects) but considering a few years ago you were a total teenager, you probably need a few years before you seem at least somewhat distinguished from them. It's a gradual process of course, with each moment just a little older than the last.

Guys, cut elubas some slack.  He's just a female apologist because his mother happens to be a female so this topic is personal for him.

That's a coincidence... so is mine!

Hmm? No, it's not personal. In fact I can't think of the last thing I argued about on chess.com that was personal for me.

Yeah, but your mom is a female right?  Just a yes or no answer please... no need to obfuscate things mr loobs.

Sigh.

Hang on a minute...

I read somewhere that at least 95% of mass murderers had female mothers!

Hmmmmm....

No, let's appreciate the pain women go through when they have children. Because a pregnancy can be explained scientifically means that they suddenly don't go through pain and stress?

Gender has nothing to do with it.  The only reason why men seem more talented is simply because there are more men that play than women.  If there were just as many women playing, things would be a lot different.

Hahaha

You sigh at me having some fun but endlessly talk circles with fiveoswords.  At least I'm talking with you, not a broken record talking past you every time.

Yes, my example was meant to be silly.  Pain of pregnancy?  What a contrived tired example.  As you see in my posts, I couldn't take it seriously.  Lets appreciate something meaningful they have to go through.  You don't even have to miss work for pregnancy.  Pain of childbirth, or how their bodies go nuts, especially after menopause... there's something to think about.

That's possible in more or less distant future, but in the present, they do need men for developing such technology. Even if we imagine that female-only scientists are able to create technology that would eliminate men from human reproduction, they still need them for ''producing'' new generations of scientists. It turns out that men are digging their own graves, waiting to be silently shoot dead in the future.

Perish, you mysoginistic bastards, that is the last time you forked my queen and king. King? We'll have to rename that lazy drone.

Yeah, I disagree with Elubas that it doesn't take much talent and even that it's not an art.  Molding a person is immensely more difficult than chess.  Especially if you have more than one kid.  Each one is different, needs change year to year, and there's no way to really prepare.  Imagine you get to play 1-5 chessgames in your whole life.  You mess up a kid in the "opening phase" and as an adult there can be difficulties they don't work out for decades, if at all.

From a kid's perspective you may think the parents have it all together... but they're taking care of their life in the background at the same time.  I think it's something very easy to screw up and something very few are good at.

"Pain of childbirth, or how their bodies go nuts"

Well, that was implied when I said pregnancy :) The whole process: carrying the kid, the symptoms, giving birth to him or her, etc.

Like I said about parents, I'm not a parent, so, it is what it is, but that doesn't mean I will automatically give the benefit of the doubt. But you make good points. I guess it's just that, what truly qualifies as a failure of parenting? Some kids are raised better than others, but generally they do turn out ok in the grand scheme of things. Like I said though, that doesn't in any way dilute the appreciation we should have for them. It is quite a commitment obviously.

Well, I think of raising kids kind of like a chess game (do I play chess too much yet?) in that it's impossible not to make mistakes.  IMO one main reason is there's no way to practice.  Sure you can read books and talk to your parents, but then you have a kid whose personality catches you completely off guard.

I don't think most people have serious psychological issues, perhaps as Freud would say.  But at the very least I think as each person enters adulthood they have strengths and weaknesses as a person, and as they go out on their own it's now up to them if they want to work on their weaknesses.

Fair enough. I will give some benefit of the doubt :)

I certainly don't doubt your powers to do that!  You're one of the most reasonable posters around who is also willing to talk about varying subjects, even with people I would consider trolls.

Thanks :)
