Women and chess

But I think the real question was whether or not the very best women can compete with the very best men. The answer to that is no.

Tell that to Judit Polgar.

Your comparison with Judith Polgar is equivalent to me saying that I played against a woman in the WNBA and she schooled me. From that butt whooping I draw the conclusion that she should be playing the the NBA.

Many people make this fallacy. If you are going to compare the very best women, then you need to compare them to their male counterparts.

Judit has always played in the "NBA."

Agreed! Simply stating my opinion based on my own experience. Margaret Thatcher - consummate politician (from one American's perspective). Duchess, do you see any correlation between the conspicuous lack of participation by women in both politics and chess? We have broken so many other barriers. Personally, I would love to see more role models in each field.

You are actively trying to start a fight, are you?
Does this really have to do with "Women and chess" or are you just off-topic in general?

Are you suggesting that I just forget your xenophobic views of my country because it's off topic? Not going to happen. Send feedback. I suggest as a reason you state "palynka is off-topic by exposing my xenophobia".

So let me ask you again, are you proud of your xenophobia?

Send me a PM, and we can start all over there...
