They are whatever you’d prefer

Do it!

We are very deep into a repost chain.

Just a reminder that if they are an actual kitten you should be feeding them wet food once to twice a day depending on age and have dry food available at all times.

It’s really hard for a kitten to over eat as they are growing so quickly that they need the calories to fuel that.

So what would be attraction to a specific band of aesthetic characteristics independent of sex or gender be?

Even in death I still swerve

I’m being genially serious, find a local club and give it a try, you might find you enjoy it. Or you could try playing on chess.com for an even easier entry they also have computer opponents of various skill levels if you feel intimidated by having a human opponent to begin

100% this if people want you get angry at the FIDE they should do it for the right reasons.

So instead of having a welcoming space for a historically and actively marginalized group while allowing them to still complete in every other tournament we should just what? Close women’s divisions, revoke all their titles, and tell them to play “real chess” instead?

Like getting rid of women’s tournaments is only a bad thing that would make the game stagnant even further to being the “boys club” game a lot of people already think it is when chess should be for everybody.

If you are paired against an opponent and choose not to play against them then you get an uncontested match loss and will tank your ELO pretty quickly. This is also anecdotal but I’ve never met a player who would refuse an opponent of roughly equal ELO

What chess tournament is men’s only, I haven’t heard of a single one?

That’s what we already do?

Gendered chess tournaments make a certain amount of sense. The main issues are that women are less likely to play chess due to societal and cultural factors and without their own division would have even more societal and cultural roadblocks to joining the game. This isn’t touching on how getting certain titles requires winning specific events that would prove even more difficult for those same reasons.

Basically without gendered tournaments there would be even less women in chess and it would be even more of a “boys club” than it already is.
