One guy (one of the newly joined chess.com members) spelled it retarted tonight. That was faintly humorous.
Why are Men Better than Other Men?
Sort:
While playing chess I will generally have a bear claw or croissant with a bracing esspresso. But when given a second pastry, I feel retarted!
oh man...just a read on my fav site...and I can face the world again...love u all

As for the brain size thing, this is a good place to bring it up I suspect.
If brain size means you're smarter, then we'd have seen it in testing men only and women only. i.e. smarter boys and men would have larger brains than less smart boys and men. However this is of course not the case. And so the answer to:
Why are Men Better than Other Men?is not that "other men" have larger brains
(common knowledge for some time is the # of neural connections is more important btw)
Next time someone asks me what my I.Q. is, I'm just going to say 1144 grams

Why ? That is indeed a good Question ! Why was Henry Ford able to produce his Model T by the millions ? Why was Sir Edmund Hillary able to climb Mount Everest ? Why was Vincent van Gogh able to paint Masterpieces ? Why was Shakespeare able to write ? Why was Mozart able to create Music ? Yes WHY is indeed the Question ( however WHAT might the Answer be ??? ).
How fortunate you are that I am here with the answers! Respectively: because he owned lots and lots of factories; because he wore gloves and had a nice thick parka; because he was nuts; because he owned at least one quill pen; because he always had an ear for tunes.

Some men are better than other men? Yea. I beseech you holders of the most noble Masonic 33rd level adept and his compass, that when men are better than other men, it is the metaphyical clockwork of the higher planes at work, the lower astral, the higher astral and the celestial. Just as the Masonic chequered floor alternates between light and dark, so too will men be better than other men. So saith the Lord and his higher mystical purpose for all men.
I knew I never should've lent linux that Donovan album.

Nah, not Donovan. You let me borrow your Captain Beefheart collection. Remember? Oh, and I stole some of your Frank Zappa records too.
Then what made you go all sort of spacy on us like that? Oh, I know: it was this one...
(An album which I actually do own btw...swear to God.)

Sacrifice of the moon sounds good. Just need a muppet to sacrifice... muhahaha.
I am not a muppet! I'm how Barney looked (right as he entered detox).

The chess world's humor deficiency continues...
He's got a point though, trolls have terrible table manners
if their table manners are so bad, then feeding them seems best to me :D
If all men were equally capable at chess or anything for that matter, contests would be pointless...
...a life without games, especially one full of people all the same would become boring and predictable.
I would rather accept that G-d endowed us all differently, inspite of, not being fond of the idea that women can out run me, are in some cases stronger than I am, or could probably even whip my @$$, in the case of martial artists...
However, I actually enjoy the idea women can beat me in chess. My wife gets angry because, when her and I try to play any games together, I have to hear about how I dominate her. I am an @$$hole because I play to win. I tried to explain that there is no point in playing a game usually if you can't ever win. If men were all the same, we'd never be able to win a game of chess and that would suck.

Aren't you shooting for master?

Please, tell us more.
Almost four years here on Chess.com and I can't remember a Man-better/woman-bad at chess thread that didn't make me want to throw up. And those threads usually have someone saying, "You're all retarded, I'm outta' here!"
