If you play against someone you believe it's a woman/girl you might underestimate him.
(That's why is only fair for a male to have female name to use nicknames such as Cramling or Chiburdanidze, or something.)

Sometimes it happens that someone's mother-in-law secretly sneaks in hes son-in-law computer, and then makes a commotion.

If a nerd takes a dyke-alike name it may scare off the chauvinistic pigs...

Complicated.

But drewnogal had in mind - I am sure - false personation in order to lower opponents' guard. That stinks all right.
