Better question: How does a guy feel about a woman who is either ignorant how to play chess or looks down on chess players as geeks? My ex was the former - she knew the rules and wanted to play me but was truly horrible at the game and would get mad at me for winning. Notice I said "ex"

I like nice ladies and don't care if they don't know how to play, plenty of people online and at clubs know.  Knowing how to play chess doesn't exactly logically correlate with being allowed to play with her hair ^_^

Chess is a game for boring people, i zink women are scared when u tell them your hobby.   U should keep this in secret  , at most u can say that u play checkers.

Yes, that i agree with. Nothing more sexy than a smart lady that plays chess. Not the titled ones, because they are not fun. Just the normal chicks that enjoy a good game.

In my humble opinion, the sexiest part of a man is his brain and if he plays chess it is a plus. Wink

Chess ability is neither here nor there.

Well, with a lady it is definitely here. What does that tell us?

You may as well fight for changing the rules. Check and checkmate no longer exist, instead the first player to take the queen wins. And the king can walk only one step diagonally, because he is a dumbass anyway. Or even, just remove the king, why have it in the first place.

And don't forget, the king can only walk in the direction where the queen is. Because he is under her command right.

I think there is a lot of social stigma attached with chess. A lot of people here in the U.S.A think that chess isn't a game for all people. They think it's for old people, patient, people, geeky/nerdy people, and intellectual/smart people.

It's dumb stuff spread by the finest of our ignoramuses...

I don't think women really care if a guy plays chess, it just happens to be that less physically attractive men play chess.

"I don't think women really care if a guy plays chess, it just happens to be that less physically attractive men play chess."

Exactly -- correlation vs causation. If physically attractive men played chess, then women would still like them. And if physically unattractive men didn't play chess, perhaps they wouldn't :p

Women think the same thing about a chess guy than any other guy...How much cash does he have?

I have always liked men who play chess. But then, it has always been men first and chess second. (Happy Halloween to all my friends and lovers to be)

It is a slight plus to the ladies if you play chess. Some think you are smart if you play chess and they usually like men somewhat more intelligent than themselves.

At least as intelligent as themselves...

Ponz, weren't you a guy, have you now turned into a woman? If yes, then why? Perhaps to be able to reach GM 200 points earlier and still win the same money as an average GM?
