    Yeah dude this was sarcasm, ain’t there a whole era named after a female ruler?

    If you want my personal chess opinion they statistically do worse cause chess is nothing but a game of emotions now, and the old masters made sure they had less competition by making women an easy target. Idk why the whole tourney isnt done online if they want an actual representation of chess skill, not just the bachlorette type drama we got going on

      I agree. I just think it’s detrimental to just shout that something is wrong as though it’s common sense without analysis or reasoning.
