Woodshover this post is NOT about gender segregation in the chess world.  There are plenty of threads that have been started on that subject and I will not let this turn into one of them.  If you want to discuss GS do it here

Now about the commenting on things you haven't read, are you by chance a US congressman or senator?  Do you vote for/against things you have not read?   Could I get you to sign some papers?... without you reading them of course.  Possibly in front of an attorney and a notary.  Do you find yourself giving out your credit card number to verify you are "of legal age to view this webpage?"  Don't worry we won't charge you anything but we need your numbers.  Just like how Jesus needs your money!  Even though he won't get any of it, don't worry, I won't either.

I think the question is valid enough it is in the news that soccer players are prohibited to have sex during world cup because they think it will affect there performance on the soccerfield. so the woman stay at home.

I think it is kind of interesting to know if GM in longer tournament let's say 5 days prohibit themself from having sex because they think it will affect there performance on the chessboard.

I don't see the humour in the question but ok I am an adult and can talk about sex without laughing.

I disagree, if anything it would make it more annoying to have a disruption to your routine.  The last thing you want to be thinking about when you step up to take a penalty kick is how horny you are. Cool

  I don't have any issues talking about sex. It's a very normal thing.  It's just that I hadn't considered the fact that tournaments could last several days.  Sorry never knew that before now.  Like I said "I have never been to a tournament before."  I was thinking of them lasting only several hours and if you can't hold your wallop or if you'd even consider it while you are in between matches is just crazy but I understand how it is a valid question even if a bit is lost in translation.

I think it might actually be an advantage on the corner kicks though...

I guess most people stay at a hotel because most people do not live in copenhagen.

sex can be great in a hotel.

If the covers are too plush then it can be difficult and awkward to move around. I would suggest removing them or alternately moving to the kitchenette.

Yeah, the suspension is nice and loose but not too much, which helps the mood.

Uhh... what were we talking about?

Avatar of theoreticalboy

Overuse of natural resources, I think.

Avatar of ivandh

Thought of a really good one but I'm feeling like its way the hell on the wrong side of that line thingy that you're not supposed to cross. Or something.

Oh, do tell...

does "size" matter during a chess tournament in a hotel?
