Again, why do comments seem so much shorter in the comments box? I did not think that post was that long. Wow.

Because they are scaled down and you don't see the entire post at once.

 

I know, but still. The posts literally come out about 4 times bigger than I think they will.

As much fun as it is besting a toddler in a pissing contest, I'm going to play some drunken games now.

Do your best not getting your account closed while I'm gone.

 

So this has been a drunken discussion? happy.png That's ok, just wasn't aware of that haha. Come to think of it I did have some stuff to drink myself, not that much.

Ah yes, I remember the time I played all three Polgar sisters in a simul. Judit batted her lashes at me coyly, attempting to distract me with her feminine wiles. But I was not to be distracted. Sophia intoned in her best Lauren Bacall voice, 'But Uram, your bishop is so ... active...', 'Active enough for three my dear'. The game continued. At a critical moment, I felt a leg slide up my on. It was Susan that sly minx! 'Enough of these games!' I roared, slamming home a different winning queen sacrifice on each board. Eyes crestfallen and lower lips puckered the ladies tipped their kings...then I woke up in bed realizing it was all just a dream.

More than one lie was told in that sentence.

Holy-Kittehs

for your point of perception only.

viewed in a more creative way, i much prefer exciting chess to belting out engine prep thumbup.png

Holy-Kittehs

since the men have extra testosterone, they basically are playing on steroids anyways.

number-0

well the highest rated man is 2800+ and the highest rating women is 2600+

but women play less chess than men

 

Holy-Kittehs

Actually, it's more fair. If men practice more, then they deserve a higher rating (not saying they do practice more).

Holy-Kittehs

sure they are bound to have a higher rating, just like if i eat far more tuna than a scrawny alley cat, i will be more beefed up, but i dont expect plaudits for it.

women aren't worse, but fewer get involved in chess.

Holy-Kittehs

Holy-Kittehs

I am a driving instructor, and its my profesion for long time. Much easier is to teach men to drive than women. Most women simply doesnt have "feeling" for driving, but they are of course rare exceptions...
