orangeishblue, the chess phenom Magnus Carlson lost to one of the greatest women chess players who is still active to this day. Wafflemaster, women are equal to everything that men do. It is not a "possible to do" subject, it is  a sure fire truth that we are just as strong as men in chess. Savage, for the comment I read about women not being equal, there is no real evidence at all. Women ARE just as good as men in anyway. To prove this point, I could play anyone of you in a game of chess on here. 5-14 days per turn, random colors, rated games.

You think this is funny. Its not. Its offending to many women out there who are on this website. It is nothing to laugh about. Its wrong, its rude, and it is not right.

You beating the patzers on here would prove nothing.

Do you mean women are equally capable?

You're right it's not an ambiguous subject.  In fact ratings dispassionately (mathematically in fact) measure performance.

I guess you mean to say in every way.

Oh, if that's what you mean by equal, then you're absolutely right.  Women are capable of playing rated chess games with men with either color.  They can learn all the rules just fine.

I wasn't referring to you AndyClifton.

Either 

a) she isn't talking to me 

or

b) she doesn't realize I'm a female

I wasn't talking about rules. I was saying how we are just as strong as world champion chess playing men out there.

But you're not. Laughing

The interesting thing about being as strong as the world chess champion (be it you, me, or anyone) is that ratings measure our performance so we don't have to guess.  As long as you're an active player and play a variety of opponents then you have a very good approximation of your playing strength.

Although this is usually pointed out to people who think they're as strong as a master.  I actually haven't seen anyone claim they're as good as a world champion yet, that's a new one Laughing

cprrijean, I was talking to noone in particular. If your a female then ok cool. I have nothing against anyone on here but I wish people would stop saying that women are not EQUAL to men. Thats all.
