I usually beat everyone I play aginst, so long as they aren't experienced enough. But I remeber playing against a chick took me longer to win than some other guy I played against.
Can Women play chess?
Sort:
Yes, it's possible for a woman to be world champion. Kind of silly for someone to claim it's not possible.
There are far more powerful male chess players out there than women, but only because of the sheer volume of men who play chess vs women. Females probably make up less than 8% of the chess population.
Polgar made a good run at it. Someday, there will be a very powerful female chess player who will threaten the WC.
Susan Polgar had a good chance...someday another like her will come
"Can women play chess?"
You mean, do they need permission? :)
I've often wondered why the male domination. It appears the attack and aggression typically found in males is less characteristic in women MHO
WTF is this
Nice to see sexism alive and well on chess.com.
Yep you only need look at the title of the other blogs
Let's play!

That is so wrong. She should use a dishwasher.

Hmm.. are you sure about that? Although no woman has become a WCC, that doesn't mean that there will be no WCC forever. Eventually, a WCC will appear, and who knows? she could have the wits and guts to beat Gary. K. So why be uncertain?
This forum is slighty offensive to women by my opinion. of course women can play chess! Why ask "Can women play chess?"
LOL. this is clearly a wind up post to spark a reaction. ladies, don't rise to the bait. its a trap. however, i will be grinning my chops off watching the debate unfold. :)

Slightly offensive? I think if leaves the tongue-and-cheek realm, then it could get really offensive.

because guys like BigKingBudweiser don't understand the physical aspect of chess, they always wonder about womens chess.
It comes down to this:
If you have zero intuition, womens chess may be a mystery to you.
The real question is .... Should girls be encouraged into such a rough game at all ?
