I think this is sexiest. true women can be at ditsy and act dumb about something but nowadays lots of females are playing chess and many of them have high ratings. I could probably ask 15 guys and they wouldn't know how a pawn captures
Like I said it's not sexist it's called being observant from experience and just stating facts.
We are not talking about professional players here, we are talking about everyday people here
I have experienced that boys are worst players because they're rash and egotistic. at my club The class I teach the majority of the girls can play equal or better than the boys. also since chess wasn't a females game until the modern age the ratio of male to female of course will be higher. also ask any player who have just learned chess and all they would be able to say is I can move the pieces whether male or female
I don't like unwarranted claims of sexism but this one was warranted. There was no reason to single out women. Many men and women know how the pieces move and how to checkmate but have little understanding of the game beyond that. But they do know how to play. If you ask me if I know how to play checkers, I will answer yes. I know how to play. I've never played enough to know or care about strategy. You seem to want advice on how to make someone feel small because she has the temerity to think she knows how to play the game when you get to decide if she has the requisite skill to think that. Ironic that you think such people are cocky.
Same here. It happens a lot that people just claim to be (or not to be) [insert whatever adjective].
@ESP-918 You are a disgrace to chess and society.
Our parents, grand-parents, great-grandparents etc. lived during hard times and they learnt to care for each other, they sticked together, thinking about more than themselves.
People who openly claim to be altruistic or say that other people are cocky are not what they think they are. It's so sad that so many people became so self-centered these days. It's all about them.
I'm glad that not everybody is like you. Because when **** hits the fan these people will do everything to protect their families and the people around them.
The end of the world does not end because of the maya calendar or whatever freaking conspiracy theory. It ends when everybody is just fighting for themselves. A society full of narcisstic, egoistical people is the real end of the world.
You're actions speak for itself and I don't want to imagine how you are offline.

I disagree with your statement that girls are better than boys. There is no difference. We have girls and boys in our chess club who are equally dedicated to chess and both are very successful in national/local youth tournaments.
There is however a difference in how they improve. Girls need another environment than boys. What I observed that girls need other girls around them. Because they connect with eachother not only on the chess level but also on a personal level. They learn chess, play chess together, they laugh and cry together. On girls tournaments they are always happy to meet other girls who play chess even if they aren't so close to them. I think girls need another learning environment than boys.
It doesn't happen that often that a woman/girl is the only one in a chess club which is understandable.
The daughter of a friend of mine said that she doesn't want to play in the men's team because she wants to meet her friends in the girl's league.
She is really good and once she played in our rapid tournament in our chess club. She made the fourth place and she played such beautiful chess.
What I want to say is that you can't say one sex has this character trait or another. Maybe there are tendencies but I think boys/men and girls/women need different environments to grow/improve in chess and in life.
Why are we talking about how men is better at chess? The topic is not about that.

You were sexist with your implications in your original content, what do you expect.
If you call being observant, critical, laying the facts straight a sexist then ok

If I say majority who plays chess are men , which is a fact is that sexist as well?

You didn't lay out facts, you literally said that more women think they're good at chess but aren't than men. You gave some stupid explanation afterwards. This post is 100% sexist. I'm not a feminist by the way, I hate them, and I agree that men generally do excel more at chess than women, but this post is on a different level.
I never said that , you thought that or understood that way.
What I said is women's logic strange , because when they JUST know how the pieces moves they tell everyone that they know how to play chess and not just saying that in a humble way but with confidence,chin up, loud voice , pride I know how to play chess!
If you ask men they will not say like that , they will say something like I'm not good or I've played long time ago or....
Anyway you have to answer my thread and not come here to argue whether it's sexist thread or not ,it's not your job .
Your argument is off topic , plus you are spamming forum.

Have a nice day.
It is not enough to ask someone if they 'play' chess, because that is a vague question. Whatever answer you get to such question, you deserve the action. If it matters that much then one can ask 'Do you play chess? In a club? Online? Which time controls do you prefer? What's your best ranking? What's your current ranking?'. It is not a question and an answer. It is a conversation. At the same time, with all equality, one should not expect women and men to think and behave same. We are different and that is normal. Give her flowers, love her, and play chess with her if she likes that. Maybe she can kick your ads in chess. Right now. Or someday.

Please stay on topic.
People who think they can play chess, but in reality they just know how the pieces move and capture and have no idea about the game.
What do you say to them?
That is playing chess so technically they are correct. They can play a game. It does not matter whether they keep losing but they can play. So what are you whining about?

Well you don't tell someone you know how to drive a car , when you have a learner license and just passed a theory test.

Now we are getting more on topic, this is pretty good so far is the best answer out of all given.
That's actually pretty good deep in psychology answer very polite but at the same time you are laughing at them and giving them the slap on the face. 💪
