Back to forum Thibault de Vassal (2008-11-20) "Are all chess players machos ?" An interesting interview of Levon Aronian in Chessbase news ! His answer : "As a chess player one has to be able to control one’s feelings, one has to be as cold as a machine. We men do not let ourselves be, let us say, seduced by our emotions and feelings. But there is a paradox in chess. - Which is? - The paradox is that the best chess players are the most emotional ones." "A gentleman at the board can suddenly turn into a barbarian. Like Anand." http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=5025 Normajean Yates (2008-11-20 18:28:51) Are female chess players 'macho'? Judit Polgár, Zsuzsanna Polgár,Zsófia Polgár, Alexandra Kosteniuk, Pia Cramling, Xu Yuhua, ... older days: the Chiburdanidze sisters; .. even older: Vera Menchik.. Are/were they 'macho'? Dinesh De Silva (2008-11-20 19:29:38) Re: Are female chess players 'macho?' Eureka!!! I think I've got it....I've solved a great, longstanding mystery! The aforementioned strong, 'macho' female chess players were actually MEN in WOMENS' DISGUISE! Whoa!!!!! Normajean Yates (2008-11-20 21:21:28) almost there.. You are almost there - actually all male GMs are women in disguise :) Rodolfo d Ettorre (2008-11-21 00:20:33) Re almost there.. I think Normajean is right, I have never seen published a photo of a naked GM.
