What famous or not so famous female chess masters you know? Pictures welcome!.

Chess has not reached to woman that well compared to man. Many men still consider that woman can't play chess like them. In my opinion woman and man are equal players. I want make all know that woman can excel in chess or sometimes even beat men in chess if they are given ample opportunities. So, I put a photo of a woman chess master in my profile picture as a respect to woman chess masters.

Thanks for asking the question!

Yes, That is me. But, you can see Judit Polgar picture in my page entirely.

I agree - 100%

I would honestly want to put a picture of an african GM instead since chess has not really reached africa that well. Why not put a picture of some pakistani GM since chess has also not reached pakistan that well?

I don't understand the point either. Can people simply not fathom the idea that more men are obsessed about chess than women? there is no "evil system" against women, chess just keeps the attention of more men than women.   Why not speak against  the small representation of men in caretaking fields? this will never end,

Yes, you can put a picture of any woman chess master from any country of your choice. There are woman chess masters in India too. If you want, you can put their photo too. There  may be good woman chess masters in your state too. If you want, you put their pictures.

If you want, you can start caretaking too. No one will stop you from doing it. This is up to you. Where there is a will, there is a way!

Well no one will stop a woman from becoming a GM too so i don't feel the need to put my pic as a female GM, just don't see the point to it.

I am a fan of magnus carlsen so if i will put anyone's photo on my profile it will be him. The day a female GM can become as strong as him sure, i will keep her photo.

Don't mind the Indian fellow. He has responded to every thread I've seen that even remotely talk about women's chess with the same dismissive air you see now. That said, I like your idea and it's something I can get behind.

Question 1. How many male masters are there?

Answer.       There are many.

Question 2. How many female masters are there?

Answer.       There are a few only.

Question 3. Why there are more male chess masters than female chess masters?

Answer.       Because there are more males into chess than females.

NB. If more females are there into chess, there will be more female chess masters. If more female chess masters are there, then there will be tough fight. If tough fight is there, then there is every chance that there will be better female chess players than Magnus Carlson. All what we need is that we should encourage more females into chess.

what do you mean? I didn't get you. Please explain.

Ah yes, because if rather have magnus carlsen's picture on my profile then obviously i am dismissing female chess.... As i said, when anyone becomes as strong as magnus is, i will put his/her photo in my pic. I will do it not to support a "cause" but by my own will since i am a fan of strong chess. 

I have said the reasons above. If I am wrong, please correct me.

I see them as completely equal to each other so i judge them on the same yardstick. When anyone becomes 2850+ like magnus is, i will, by my own will, put their picture on my profile. Why is that a problem?

Sure. I'll PM you. @JijoAttumalilJose .

Please explain.

As a psychology student i have my own theories as to why this is the case (this is not specific to chess but is true for other activities where physical strength is not required)

I got it.
