joywendy: Having a separate category (and/or specific prizes) for females is a short term solution to a long term problem. We support similar short term solutions for now. As you may have hinted, these female prizes are, "to promote ladies in chess". While this may be true, it is does not adequately tackle a much more fundamental issue. Which is, the proportion of female players to total number of players is really really low. Our preliminary statistics based on December 2016 FIDE data indicate about 10% of active FIDE rated players are female! We opine that it is society's historical "negative" views on females playing chess that led to this disparity. We believe a long term solution is to grow grass root chess for both male and female youngsters. How will this solution work? If we introduce a generation of 5 - 12 year old students to the game (equally and without gender prejudice), we will inevitably get a lot of talented and highly competitive youngsters. Imagine if only 0.001 of all Nigerian primary school students have the chess talent gene and are discovered, we would be looking at tens of thousands of future titled players, CM, FM, IM and the elusive GM titles. This new talent pool will have well over 10% female participation, we hope eventually 50%, but even 40 or 30% will be a great start. Since chess does not require the best leg or arm muscles but the best brain, girls and boys are on an equal "nature-set" playing field. Now all we need to do is to equal the "society-set" playing field. After years of mixed gender competitions, the best of them will definitely include males and females. By the time these youngsters are in their teens, the best females among them will be competing regularly and successfully with their male counterparts and will even feel insulted if anyone invited them to play separately. We would have fundamentally changed the need for separate female prizes in the life time of just one generation. - LagLeatherbacks 3 Likes 1 Share |

I think 'Lichess' still remains the best online chess app on android; it is time based hence, one can hardly cheat using a board analyzer. |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by jayriginal: 9:20am On Jan 29, 2017 |
GenerousLord: What would you say it's advantages are over an app like chess.com Also when you say lichess is time based, isn't chess.com also time based? |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by GenerousLord: 12:33pm On Jan 29, 2017 |
jayriginal:chess.com is restricted in some way; no full access to enjoy all the features of a great chess game, but with lichess it's fun all the way. You can install it and see for yourself. |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by jayriginal: 4:02pm On Jan 29, 2017 |
GenerousLord: I've actually been using both and I prefer chess.com. I think you are referring to other features than game play. I agree that chess.com has paid options but when you spoke I thought you meant game play. Thanks for your contribution man. |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by GenerousLord: 6:18pm On Jan 29, 2017 |
jayriginal:Alright, you're welcome. |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by shegunn: 9:14am On Feb 03, 2017 |
