Girls or Chess?


So you don't want to play chess because you think it has bad interactions between males and females?
Let me point something out to you: Chess is a sport. Sports are competitive and the point of them is to have fun and (in most cases) socialise with the same gender, not to get in a serious relationship. Most sports involve separate male and female teams. Get used to it.

Seems like we lose a lot of promising teenage chess players when they discover girls. The choice seems clear.
