What if a girl became World Chess Champion?

Sort:
batgirl

According to Chessdryad, it's pronounced "ky-eé-sah."

Caïssa was the name given by Sir William Jones in his poem by the same name.  Here is her introduction:

A lovely dryad rang'd the Thracian wild,
Her air enchanting, and her aspect mild:
To chase the bounding hart was all her joy,
Averse from Hymen, and the Cyprian boy;
O'er hills an valleys was her beauty fam'd,
And fair Caissa was the damsel nam'd.
Mars saw the maid; with deep surprize he gaz'd,
Admir'd her shape, and every gesture prais'd:
His golden bow the child of Venus bent,
And through his breast a piecing arrow sent.

read Caïssa

 

But her original name was Scacchis from the poem "Schaccia, Ludus" by Marcus Hieronymus Vida a couple centuries before. Here's his introduction of the nymph:

For (as they say) fair Scacchis he espied
Feeding her cygnets in the silver tide,
(Scacchis, the loveliest Seriad of the place)
And as she stray'd, took her to his embrace.
Then, to reward her for her virtue lost,
Gave her the men and chequer'd board emboss'd
With gold and silver curiously inlay'd;
And taught her how the game was to be play'd.
Ev'n now 'tis honour'd with her happy name;
And Rome and all the world admire the game.
All which the Seriads told me heretofore,
When my boy-notes amused the Serian shore.

Read Schaccia, Ludus in either the original Latin or in English

We want it all! (But we are willing to negotiate)

You mean you are willing to negotiate how to get it all.

If we could time travel XDave121X could go back in time and not start this thread, So, I'm not really typing this sentence right now. And you're not reading it.

Chess would reach a milestone if a woman became the first female champion.

ProfessorProfesesen

How so? Would we be defeating Houdini?

It would be a psychological milestone.

ProfessorProfesesen

Whats wrong with civil rights right now?

Elubas

Yeah, not a civil rights milestone -- perhaps a psychological milestone (if that makes sense).

Myself, I would just look at her like any world champion -- I would know we would have a person who was really great at chess, and that would be cool -- in a similar way to, for example, how we currently have a world champion who's great at chess.

Hey good question. Unlikely it will happen though. Gm s over 2500 wont get distracted by anything. Not like me, i lost one OTB game because a girl that i was playing against gave me that look.... 

But seriusly, Can a girl win the WC of boxing? no.

And to those they say thats not the same ill reply that Men can concentrate more in one thing, and women can be more organised when doing multiple tasks. 

So. 

I wait for that girl that will prove me wrong. It will change the course of mankind for ever! (you catch the joke? MANkind?? hehehe)

I didn't know Derrida was using deconstruction that way...I thought the substantiality of the world was Berkely's...

He's probably not, but then again, how would we really know, right?

NO

And here's some verse for you batgirl:

 

A redhead winks 'fore yellow backing field

Her mask uplifted, single eye revealed

A sassy wit, 'mid comments often rife

With deep sexism, time-travel and strife

An air of confidence her calling card

and such an air in a web forum's hard!

Yet, there she smiles, and guides us to the light

Of well reason'd discussion, logic tight

Oh Batgirl, let us thank you for your gifts

your presence here my sorry heart 'ere lifts!
