What if a girl became World Chess Champion?

GM Granda only plays in Open Tournaments and his rating is 2675.

(He also plays the American Continental and when he qualifies he plays in the World Cup).

It doesnt matter with rating a girl can beat a boy or a boy can beat a girl it doesnt matter about rating

I edited my post. The nice thing about chess is that we actually do have mathematical ways to measure certain equivalences. For example, a 2800 scoring a huge amount against 2600s may take the same amount of skill as beating 2700s moderately often. Yes, the 2600s are easier, but consistency counts for something. Imagine working hard to beat someone, then you have to do it again tomorrow. That's harder than doing it once, and gives you more chances to go wrong, especially considering everyone wants to get that juicy upset against you. You need skill to do that, certainly more skill than to just do it once.

It is impossible, dont waste your time on this topic!

Irina Krush didn´t play in the American Continentals 2012 or 2013, How was she going to classify if she didn´t even play?

There are even 1800 and 1900s players in the tournament.

She could have played, if she have wanted to do it.

She didn´t play then obviously she didn´t classify to the world cup 2013.

The American Continental Championship 2013 will take place on 6-15 May in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

The tournament will be open to any participant that represents a Federation that belongs to the American Continent that is registered as a FIDE member.

It will be an 11-round Swiss open. The time control will be 90 minutes for the first 40 moves plus 30 minutes for the rest of the game and 30 seconds increments from the first move.

The tournament is part of the World Championship cycle and the top four finishers will qualify to the FIDE World Cup 2013 in Tromso.

Last year winner was Peruvian GM Julio Granda

The American Continental was an open tournament, she could have registered if she wanted, but she didn´t play.

She didn´t need an invitation.

She only needed to play and get among the top four to qualify to the World Cup 2013.

She decided not to participate. How can you expect to see her in the World Cup if she doesn´t play the American Continental?

Race, color and gender didn´t matter.

Just play the American Continental (which is an open tournament) and get among the Top 4, then you have qualified to the World Cup.

One thing I want to point out: Wouldn't male 2500s have the same problem as female 2500s? They can't play Carlsen, so they can't raise their rating much. I don't believe that, but if it were true, it would apply as much to females as males of similar ratings. Even if playing in women's only groups did affect things, then women would simply be deciding their fate; if they thought women only groups were hurting their rating, they are free to not do them, and play in whatever tournaments a 2500 male would. Freedom is nice I thought?

If I can choose between A and B, and A is bad and B is good, what is there to worry about? I can just choose B and suffer no consequences of A.

noobdy here could eb judoit pogar, so sstpo being so meaun 

Ratings don´t matter to qualify to the World Cup, that´s how Deisy Cori qualified, and she is rated 2414.

Now to get to the candidates she would have need to finish 1st or 2nd.

But she was eliminated in the first round by Nakamura 2-0.

What if a girl became a World Champion? Well it has happened. Susan Polgar, Judit Polgar, Alexandra Kosteniuk. They are all World Champions in chess. I think it is quite amazing for the female population to show their skill in chess and to show the world that there is more to them that meets the eye. I am a strong supporter for women to get same benefits as men and I say that they equal men in strength in more ways than one. In chess and in other things. I know a lady who works out at a gym I go to. Her record for dead-lifting is 330 lbs. She can squat and lift heavy weights accumulated to 330 lbs of weight in total. So I say this. Ladies, go show the world what your made of :).

Thank u! Also women have been proven to be faster in their 20s and 40s than in their teen, not true for men, so far.

I think this thread should have been titled Cerebral Disconnect.

Yes but anything a woman doesn't like about being in a segregated event can be solved by playing in tournaments a male 2500 would play. It would not be any more difficult for the 2500 female than the 2500 male -- unless of course she, voluntarily, decided to make it more difficult by playing in women's only events. You could say both a 2500 male and a 2500 female have problems moving up, but then it's no longer a gender issue.

Eh, I don't have a problem with that -- there have even been times where the WCC was decided by a tournament. It's a fairly painless way to give a tiny bit of information just in case it was needed, even if it most likely wasn't.

My point remains that a female 2500 has no disadvantage over a male 2500, because she can do anything the male 2500 can. She just has to want to; that's literally it.

Wome, by their naature, are not excepitoa chess plaers: htey re nt reat fighters. 

Men, on the other hand, suck at typing.

JJst because one man sukcs at typig doesn't man they all do. do't be sexist
