Keeping Chess Fair

Sort:
Elektrifikatsiya

For those who are interested in fairness, I just found out some news for those who like Chess. Chess have become very popular in recent times and there are many websites for Chess players. Chess.com is my favorite!

As you can imagine because how many times do we hear about someone expressing their right to free speech about keeping Sports fair for all involved only to hear about that person resending their opinion?

The reaction by those who oppose keeping sports fair:

Trans women told they have 'no right to participate' in all-female chess contests
The move has sparked a backlash from critics who called it 'offensive' to women

Sad news. But hard to expect fairness from FIDE.

Yes Indeed. Chess is many things including cruel. The time pressure is a blizzard from the great Ice Age.

Let them raise Hell and let us see if FIDE and the Chess World has the ability to withstand woke pressure that so many had bowed too.

I think transgender woman should be allowed to participate i woman chess. There is no physical reason why the should not - as there may be in cyckling etc. No reason to investigate on that.

No women can compete with elite Men who rule their domain in chess. Imagine if Carlsen played in the women"s world cup. He would soon grow bored just as he has with playing for the World Championship. Chess in not only demanding mentally, but also physically.

I am pleased to see you express your thoughts on this matter and not being censored as so many have with the opposite views you have expressed.

But why should Carlsen want to participate in the womens World Cup?

I would like to express my understanding of the policies surrounding all-female chess contests. Respecting individuals and their diverse experiences is crucial in today's world. When it comes to discussions about gender, it's essential to acknowledge that there are different perspectives on gender identity.

It's worth noting that conversations about gender are nuanced and can vary based on personal beliefs and experiences. Fostering an atmosphere of empathy and open dialogue can lead to better mutual understanding and inclusivity.
