Why does it matter, Does it have anything to do with how they play?

Why would there not be homosexual Chess players. I mean, there are plenty in football, a sport you wouldn't necessarily consider!

Okay, there are 1,300 grandmasters, and approximately 10% of the population is gay, so there should be about 130 gay grandmasters.

If you add 2000, you get 2013.

Coincidence or a Mayan / gay / left handed conspiracy?

You have taken a statistics class? :D

IIRC there is a correlation between being gay and left-handed.

In the past I had a great interest in chess history and chess personalities and I read everything I could get my hands on but still never knew until last year (from a post on this site) that Tal had a deformity of his hand. I guess no one ever thought it was worth mentioning as he was a great chess player and that's what was important. It's probably the same thing here. Unless a chess master would make it an issue himself, it just doesn't come up since it doesn't matter.

I"m a raging heterosexual. I sometimes like to think of my bishop pair as a nice pair of tits! LOL. How would a homosexual think of his pieces then?

Not sure but as the G-Star poster boy he'll be getting more ass than Neil Patrick Harris.

It has a better ring to it I suppose.

Like the guy here who gave his baby 'Danger' as a middle name recently. He is never going to introduce that kid as anything but 'John Danger Smith'
