Sexism by Chess.com?

Hello there landlubbers... as I was surfing the chess.com support pages, I came across the benefits for titled players. Where basically anyone with a certified titled like International Master could receive lifetime diamond membership here.

Now this favors women quite more than men... as the 3 lowest titles are: (from highest to lowest)

  1. Candidate Master : 2200 FIDE
  2. Women FIDE Master : 2100 FIDE
  3. Women Candidate master : 2000 FIDE

Women with a FIDE rating of 2000 or 2100 can leap past the men... and get that diamond membership! Ahem sexism...

It's not chess.com, FIDE just made the women's titles require lower ratings to get them. I don't know which way to interpret that, favoring women or saying they're weaker... but to the best of my knowledge, these rules were made well over 70 years ago.

Fide changes the rules quite frequently =)

We talking about chess.com giving free lifetime diamond to people with titles... not directly FIDE; women with min 2000 elo can get the free diamond while men have to get NM (USCF 2200) or CM (FIDE 2200) as minimum

To say that a woman is weaker than a man is a total myth.

Because once he closes his eyes and enters the Twilight Zone, I can sneak into his safe and get his 1911 out and do whatever I want with it. He's got a 12ga too, I can do whatever I want with that. Every woman will have her revenge in one way or another.

What women lack in strength, they make up for in numbers.

Er... we ain't taking about combat lel... no violence or anything unless some women on the streets decide to randomly bite your ears off then ahem we can call the pubbie I mean what's the word... the siren wo/man (swat police?)
