A woman can beat any man; it's difficult to imagine another kind of sport where a woman can beat a man. That's why I like chess.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is nothing that disgusts a man like getting beaten at chess by a woman.
Chess is a lot of fun for me. Football is a physical game, and in chess you can just beat someone mentally - you outwit somebody, outmaneuver them, think ahead of them.
For guys playing sports at a high level, for money, I can't put my finger on it, but in a man's world of sport, there is something visceral to beating another man.
The only woman I have played in my career was my wife and I beat her easily! But she wasn't much good.
We want more women players to take up chess. There are few participants at the national level and hope it will grow.
The female loves to play man against man. And if she is in a position to do it, there is not one who will resist.
Most women don't play like guys do: they don't wrestle, fight, get into brawls. They don't know how to express themselves in a physical, active way.
In the men's game, there are three, four, five dominant players who pretty much win everything, but in the women's, anyone can.
There isn't a woman player in the world I can't give knights-odds to and still beat.
Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters.
