Or they have more opportunities to do so?
The opposite is true: women can compete in women's tournaments and in open once, but men can't compete in women's tournaments but only in open once.
Thus, women have more opportunities to play competitive chess.
Though a lot of women choose not to play in open events because they don't feel safe, so until FIDE address that issue, we're still going to see relatively small numbers of women at open chess tournaments.
Even if that is true, I do not see how it has any influence on the strength of women chess players.
This thread isn't about the strength of women chess players, or the war on Ukraine, though some people try to take it off topic in different directions.
I've said all along, that FIDE are targeting the easy issue of transgender in sport, which isn't an issue in chess now. But claims of sexual harassment are real, and FIDE are doing nothing about this.
Their priorities are ridiculous.
I am tired of saying the same thing:
Women are not inherently a marginalized group; rather, they deserve equal opportunities to excel. By eliminating gender-specific chess titles and exclusive women-only FIDE rated tournaments, we can pave the way for genuine equality. That will fix transgender issue as well right away. Full stop
Then stop saying it. I answered you once already
Ok, we are on the same page, next question
Err, I don't think so, but you like to obfuscate and then back down, which is fair enough I suppose
"but you like to obfuscate and then back down" - when did I do that?
You brought up Ukraine and then backed down, and you haven't answered my posts about women's participation, but made a flip comment about me agreeing with you.
Do you speak English, or do you use translator?
More obfuscation?
Not at all; I was very clear with my answers, but you have a hard time comprehending, so I am troubleshooting
Clear as mud. I tell you what, I'll repeat what I said earlier which you ignored before:
Women sexually abuse other women/girls as well
Of course, and men abuse men/boys. But women in chess want a safe environment essentially from men, and for the moment that means they want exclusively women only spaces. They're the victims, so I'm happy to listen to what they're saying
They can play among each other, just not in official tournaments and they should not get any W titles. Problem solved
Let's take away the few scraps we've thrown their way?
I thought the idea was to attract more women to the game?
How about me and you give up telling women what's best for them, and instead listen to them and help to accommodate and include them?
So, you are using translator ... you should use a different one, because my answer was clear and to the point.
You didn't answer this. Not sure what your agenda is in this thread other than taking things off topic. Anyway, bye......
They can play among each other - they can feel safe.
just not in official tournaments and they should not get any W titles. - equality above all else
Problem solved
They can also play online, there are still no women or transgenders among top online players
It is late here, good night
