The only time I've EVER heard of speed dating was in the movie 40 Year Old Virgin.

I didn't know it existed in the real world.

2. I'm going to take your second and fourth suggestions together, because they're basically two sides of the same coin. Women don't go to chess tournaments to be ogled, or to show off how attractive they are. 

I've been to several chess tournaments, and this is completely false.  The women there are dressing to impress.

Women 4 places left...men 5 places left.

This proves that more women go than men.

So speed chess is the answer Laughing

The question is would women pay for a bit of chess?? Undecided

gtg... bye.

Aaaw don't be so coward to hit and run lol

Your research just valid in Edinburgh, and we talk about women from all over the world here :). Dont u understand statistic and sampling techniques?

And in case of me, i dont like speed dating and dont understand the unsound correlation between speed dating and chess.

But if you refer speed chess as a blitz chess, i think i have played it better than you. Obviously seen from our rating differential in blitz :D

Peace :)

I have a slow pc... blitz on here does'nt work for me.

On a real board I have never tried.

I suggest making it easier to get titles and compete for prizes. Reduce WGM to 1300 (So anyone can get it) and add more ranks. WGMI, WGMII, WGMIII, and so on. More money should be taken from the men's tournaments and distributed to women. 

Avatar of MrDamonSmith

I think it was the same person on different accounts.

Avatar of Snookslayer

Most women don't seem to have the competive spirit men do, which probably partly explains their lack of chess interest.

Ya, it's one of the logical suggestion from this thread.

Treat women as you do men. Its kind of been the theme the past century or so, let's not reinvent the wheel here.

Invite them to play.
