Kevin Wood,Women's brains aren't so much less capable of achieving intellectual tasks it is more that they have a different way of approaching it.
I don't understand people who says chess is hard

... and I don't understand people who don't know how to quote, it's not that hard ESP

My wife can't play at a 1000 level, despite my repeated attempts to coach her. She also can't solve a Rubik's cube, no matter how many times I try to show her. I've asked her if my coaching style is the problem. She said, "It's not you. I understand what you're showing me. It just doesn't 'click' in my head."
Though, she crushes me in Scrabble. She reads at speeds that leave me in the dust. And her memory relating to conversations is astounding (she can recite, word for word, most conversations she's had).
To test it, I asked her about an online conversation we had a few years ago, on a message board. We conversed hundreds on times on that site, and I chose one of those conversations at random. I pulled up the link and followed the text on screen, while she closed her eyes and recited. To my amazement, she remembered the conversation perfectly. To her it wasn't anything difficult.
Point being, some people are strong in certain areas, while weaker in others.
My wife excels in things dealing with words, language, communication. But in things that involve spacial reasoning and logic (chess, Rubik's cube, etc.), her mind just throws up a wall.
You could argue all day long that, "But.. but.. but it's so easy!" But that assumes that everyone's brain works the same way, and has the same potential. Not true. Not everyone's brain works the same way. And people have greater potential in some areas than others.
excellent posting!

There's no limit to a wife's memory when it comes to the misdeeds of her husband. She may choose not mention your wrongdoing at the time for a couple of good reasons. She may want to confront you now about a more serious infraction and rather than wasting the less serious one, she puts it in the bank for future use. Oh but she won't forget about it! They'll be a time 10 or 20 years later when you've been relatively well behaved for a while and she has nothing current to work with. And you're against the idea of buying a new living room set. That's when she'll withdraw the infraction from the bank. It will be even more effective then because you won't remember it. And that means you won't remember your excuse either. But she's upset about it. How could you have done such a thing to her 17 years ago? You don't know why because you don't remember doing it! But you know she remembers so you agree to visit the furniture store on the morrow. Oh those wives are good, man, regardless of their chess ratings!

Yes.
But that memory is highly selective.
Say 100 supporting compliments about say, her cooking, she will forget them in moments.
But then, just one time, say she added a little too much oregano to her meatballs, well....That she will remember, for decades.

Of course it's selective. Those 100 compliments about her cooking don't get her a new living room set. But that incredibly hurtful criticism of her meatballs after she gave you the best years of her life guarantees a trip to the furniture store.

I think it's just people who don't regularly play the game and compare it to a board game, like say Hungry Hippos or Doggy Doo, who think its hard.
II don't know what Doggy Doo is; well, actually I do and I avoid stepping in it but I don't consider Hungry Hungry Hippos a board game, I expected you to say Monopoly or Chinese Checkers or checkers

ESP- 918, I'm not interested in getting involved in the discussion, I think chess is hard to learn and master & checkers is easy to learn but hard to master just wanted to let you and a few other members I'm seeing quoting someone and writing their whole post, much easier is clicking on the quote marks right across from a person's name + it makes it more clear cause the quote is put in a blueish box
Ridiculous...
The heavier the pieces are, the harder the game becomes
you only play fast chess ,so it's easy,if you play 30 min chess,it's become much harder.i bet you never play a classic chess.my rating is lower than you,but ,i understand why it's hard,i personnaly don't have that patient and deeper thinking
Easy to play,Hard to Master
