Happy Valentine's Day people er whatever cause I just came to America and I'm just gonna flirt with people soooo FLIRT PARTY

Basically this is what I think. Doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl. A man or a woman. What matters in chess is that you are two people sitting across from each other and you are in a battle of the minds and the chess board is your battlefield. Doesn't matter if you are rich or poor or have 6 arms 5 legs and 12 eyes. Chess is a game that is played in the mind and people should atop stereotyping. If a girl wants to play chess then MORE POWER TO HER I SAY!!!
Well I look at it this way, I'm so use to playing guys that it feel alittle weird when I play females online. Now, I play my sister and I think nothing of it but online?..... Woman seem to play alittle different I discovered, not all but most.Some cheat because they don't want get beat by a man. It seems like they are more on the defensive side of playing even my sister from time to time. Now if you can really beat them they just take the lost, but if they ever get close to winning, ooo oh you got something on your hands.
