I am interested in hearing from someone who has actually played this version with success.
And, yes, poetic passions, I play backgammon.
Nah! It's fake! :p :p :pQuote:

If you google it you'll find it easily. It seems to be "natural" (or ressurreceted) among the Czechs, but, nowadays, what can't you purchase in the internet?~Quote:

Just to clarify: women do play chess. They may not be as common as male chess-players, but they definitely, undeniably exist. :D

I met her once and also played her in a simul (simultaneous exhibition). To my deep chagrin, when I approached her, I said, "Judit?" My best friend was with me and he gave me flak for a while after. :) Probably one of the worst social blunders of my life. :lol: I am not worried about it too much now, as it was almost 6 years ago.
Anyway, Susan is a GM. Judit is what they call a Super GM. It's pretty hard for anyone under the level of say, International Master, to estimate the difference between GM and Super GM, and GM will completely blow anyone lower than master out of the water with complete ease. So yes, women and girls play chess.
To Libri; Not sure what you mean by "playing from a distance." Do you mean correspondence, perhaps?
Woo, chess! My "twin sister" and I used to play chess at lunch, and we had a couple extra rules of our own; it was fun! My dad and I probably have a 3:1 ratio going; he used to be an absolute whiz, and I still make way too many stupid mistakes . . . it can be fun, though, if everyone is in the right mood. Don't want any hurt feelings! =D
Libri, you're plain evil not believing girls play chess and everything! Want to give it a shot:p?!
Let's go! :)Quote:

Black or white?
If so I'd be interested in some friendly games on Yahoo.
