Originally posted by eyekneeMy sister came to see what a chess tournament looked like once, when I went to Oregon to play in a tournament near her home. She marvelled at the vast array of men, all playing in silence in a large room. So silent, in fact, that the ticking chess clocks were deafening.
I heard that chess is a men's game...if so, then I should be proud of myself bcoz I've defeated few men in my games...
I'd guess that women make up a few percent of the players. Perhaps it is a man's game. In my years playing tournament chess, I can count on the fingers of one hand the women I played. Carol Mayer, nice lady. I suppose she's not playing chess anymore.
