If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

I am pretty sure that last part confuses me. Could you explain JamieDelarosa?

I think I was free associating!  We will have to ask Freud.

I finally caught it. Whenever someone starts a thread that has a catchy title such as "What if women became the world chess chapion" "How to attract more women" "How to play chess with women"

Anything that has to do with women

It starts a huge debate, page after page after page of comments going back and forth. I have come to the conclusion that it is nothing but troll bait.

It would be great to have a Female world champ.

As fun as that'd be, the capacity just isn't there.

That's remains to be seen!

I think it was Fischer who said he could win against a woman at knight odds. Irony is he latter stayed with Polgar sisters and I bet he understood what he was up against.

I think your comment is premature.

Oh, the genetically modified polgar 'sisters'.

I think it would,  or will,  be great.  

Just as great as when we have our first Lady President in 2016. 

I hope I don't regret those words someday.    Hillary did fine as First Lady,  and was a guiding force behind Bill during his tenure.

OP, there is better odds of winning the million dollar lottery than a female winning the World Chess Championships.

Well, you'll never be able to prove that. Why don't you keep playing the lottery and see if you win before a woman becomes WCC? I can bet you a million dollars either a woman will become WCC before you win a million dollars, or you will never win a million dollars and there will never be a female WCC.

the odds of me winning a million dollars are as likely as a female being a WCC, 0.

Ain't gonna happen.  Many women think Hillary is a tool.

You don't think a single girl on Earth could beat you? I'm sure there are thousands who could whip us, blindfold and in a simul.

I am amused that you think you could beat any woman on Earth. It is funny to see such an outright display of discrimination. Funny because it is outdated and thankfully, rare these days. People like you are relics of an unwelcome past where sterotypes actually mattered.

You should go outside and realize that women are just people like anyone else.
