As usual, excellent post, Batgirl.
Do woman Enjoy Chess
Sort:
"Thank you, darling, for learning to play chess. It is an absolute necessity for any well organized family." - (in a letter to his wife) - Alexander Pushkin
In 1804 Dolley Madison, wife of James Madison (at this time, Secretary of State to Jefferson) , while visiting Lucy Knox, the wife of Washington's Major General, Henry Knox, in Boston, wrote to her sister Anna Cutts:
"We have very pleasant lodgings, and for my companion, the famous Madame Knox, who although very haughty, I find pleasant and sensible. Chess is now her mania which she plays extremely well, only too often for my fancy, who am not of late so partial to it."
Batgirl, you sure get good use from that time machine of yours...

But I do make a good point about male cheaters in chess and in many sports. But I know some women cheat also. Just seems like it's mainly men we hear about, especially in the physical sports.

Polgar's win over Korchnoi says it all about the old fashioned 'attitude'
towards women chess players...just beautiful

Like i said..if she is the person in her profile then its really wierd how she spends time for chess as a mom and a wife. Besides the fact that she is all over this
Eh? I don't get what you are trying to say. What are you talking about?

Is that a not-so-subtle 'stay in the kitchen'?
Is this the worst attempt at a pickup ever?
Na I can only play online atm and you're unrated...
my first woman i played, was dr. woods(rip).
ms woods was a math teacher at our local college and at the time in her 60s.
she would sit across the board from you with the straightest posture. she was always scribling notes while playing, from shopping lists to grading papers.
yep, she was a good player and a great person..rest in peace dr. woods, you are missed.

What happened to him??
He got blasted into a black hole along with trysts. I think it was for the purpose of an intergalactic sitcom or something.
I thought trysts was just taking a break over the summer. She wasn't a WUM.
