I'm not a great bowler, but isn't 195 a little low for the world's no1 player?

The conversation is so sexist it's disgusting. I'm sorry for the poster of this who probably wanted a serious answer and only got a few and the rest were from men who used a time machine to get to the 21st century and somehow managed to use a computer.

Oh, lighten up, melissa. We get kind of tired of goofy questions around here (sorry, Cows ), so we act up. Boys will be boys, you know...we're all just waiting for recess so we can go out and play 4-square.

Tony...not a problem. As I observed, I have difficulty being serious about anything including myself. I'm content to have expressed the question in different terms. Describing the current situation as proof women aren't as capable doesn't seem compelling. Also, I had too much time on my hands.

I just realized, I am one of the least qualified people on chess.com to participate in a serious conversation. Oh well.

In fact, your username implies that.

Eliminating that whimpy 50 move rule might help chess be recognized as a sport rather than a game.

Perhaps, requiring males to wear jock straps while playing chess? I suppose an exception for online chess is reasonable.
