I am.
my brother is in the merchant navy, covered in tattoos, and regularly wrestles crocodiles with both arms tied behind his back. but he also plays chess.

therefore, using philosophical rigour, i have come to the conclusion that playing chess is a necessary, but not a sufficientprecondition to nerdiness.

me, i wear glasses, have a masters degree in computing, and haven't had sex in nearly a year. i guess that's all the boxes ticked...

Can chess playing women be nerds? I always found walking into a chess club made me quite interesting.

Love the 'hot hicks', do ya? Would that be people like RingtailHunter?

If I was a better chess player, I would consider myself more of a nerd but I guess I am somewhat of a geek.

Females outside their natural habitat are always far more alluring. Be it the bookies, at football or in a chess club - the man's competitive need to mate means that he sees even ugly women, in a male dominated arena in far superior light.

or on the other hand, maybe the males that hang out at bookies or chess clubs are more desperate?
