White trash Taylor Swift attacks "TOXIC MALE PRIVILEGE"

[Cypress]

I dont think so. Judit Polgár is probably the top woman's player, and hasn't.

You'd have to cite . But even a game is not match play

It is largely attributable to culture.

My brother and I were being taught to play chess by age 8. I do not think anyone went out of their way to teach my sister chess. She was encouraged to do ballet

It becomes a cycle. Girls do girl stuff, because they are taught to do girl stuff, because girls do girl stuff.

Who is Taylor Swift and how did she piss off the cult? Why should I care?

you're a guy and you do girl stuff......therefore absolutes aren't absolute.......

In some cultures, chess is or was seen as a metaphor for strategy and strategic thinking skills, presumed to be the terrain of men.

I was aware Barishnkov did ballet, so I was never raised with the stereotype that ballet was effeminate and only suited to girly men

that doesn't explain the shortage of top knotch women players worldwide -including eastern Europe and Russia

Judit Polgár beat Garry Kasparov.

The claim that women aren't good at chess is such a common Alt-Right talking-point, there are even videos debunking the claim.

her only win against Kasparov in her career
It's not a "talking point" / I don't know why it is what it is

[dukkha]

basically tournament money for women top players isn't enough for them to attend and study and devote enough time to full time chess.
The theory is that is why women don't play at World Championship Level..or even play the qualifying rounds.
Women do have their own chess leagues -including a world champion -but are technically allowed to play in all FIDE (world chess federation) matches as well

I'd say it was a toss-up between you, CFM, TDAK and CINNacal BARstard.

Are YOU vying for a runner up position?

[dukkha]

there are lots of women chess players now coming up thru the ranks,,see how it goes

[MAGA MAN]

that's damn good. I can't play blindfold chess,but I used to play for fun with a guy who did. He relied on transposing into a couple of standard openings -OK ,,but even then the middle game gets so complex...lol..I have no idea how they do it!!

This guy's Dad was Korean and his mom English, had 7 of 8 kids and all brilliant.

so why do we have female-only chess tournaments?

[Text Drivers are Killers]

It becomes a cycle. Girls do girl stuff, because they are taught to do girl stuff, because girls do girl stuff.

And that's how most women want it. Women don't really want to compete with men. They know it's not a fair fight. Men are bigger and stronger and more aggressive and more confident and smarter. And everyone knows it but we're not allowed to say it!!

l

that's BS. The women are free to compete against the men and make the big money but - they don't have the ability. And somehow that is the fault of men!!

HAHAHAHA. That's always been true, you idiot. But they never get to the top level. This is true in chess and physics and math and IT and everything that involves brains. No woman has won a physics Nobel in 56 years !!!
