Anyone else feel the need to cut themselves after listening to that music?

Why a chess tournament cant be mix men-women? is very disgusting this stupid diferenciation...it is like saying: women are more stupid than men..(or au contraire)

[catalinaguerrero]

no, it just means the tournament can be organized better avoiding a huge pool of men/women. of course that's nothing that a feminist idiot like you would understand :-).

[boromakot2]

hablas y no te entiendo... no has comprendido lo que he dicho? quién coño es feminista? porké cojones no juegan al ajedrez los hombres y las mujeres, los niños y las niñas? son unos más inteligentes que otras o al reves? Dudo que tú, catalinaguerrero, juegues al ajedrez; y si lo haces...mejor pa tí

[Yofo009]

estupido... O_o

[JohnDowell85]

@catalinaguerrero umm that doesnt make any sense. It doesnt help organize anything by splitting the sexes. But thats nothing a sexist idiot like you would understand =p

I find that I am one of the few feminst chess players. The separation of women and men is almost always done to promote women in chess. They are vastly underrepresented and to promote chess, they are given special titles and invitations (like these to the US Championship). If this was a straight up coed tournament (and many of these exist) you would likely see only one or two women chess players.

aka dumb idiot women can't compete with men so they get their own special olympics-esque league

[CaraBrimleyRules]

I'm not in favour of this separation.

It's the same in bridge. It just degrades women. In fact, it is not womens and mens it is womens and "open". This makes it even worse. Basically we are saying women can't compete with men, and if that is every admitted, it's just an excuse for the perpetual mediocrity of the women's game.

Like the unification of Germany, it was painful at first, but unification is the only way forward.

Womens chess is more demanding due to the PMT.
