@kennedytcooper As a chess feminist I’m sorry to say this is inaccurate. At the top level tournaments women are able to play in the open section, but men aren’t allowed to play in womens tournaments. There’s lots of misogyny in chess to be discussed but I just wanted to correct the facts.

Drama at a #chess tournament! I’m black (1840 vs 1702). I have 10 seconds left vs his 15. I panic and blunder with Rxb3 (rook). He plays Qc8+ for mate in 2 and I grab my head in disbelief. He immediately gets up and walks away without hitting his clock… (1/3)

@chesscoachandra @CleominaChess @JenShahade @chessfeels There’s power imbalances. Men and women are not on equal social standing. Therefore when women do this about men it is not nearly as bad as if men were doing this about women. History, this male sexualization of women leads to violence, while the same can’t be said for vice versa

@the_transit_guy When I go to Las Vegas for chess I’m always astounded by how hostile it is to pedestrians. It takes like 30 minutes to walk a mile in some places. You have to walk over numerous stairs and overpasses just to get anywhere.
