>the Queen is the strongest unit

It's right up their alley too.

Been done. They don't like it, on average they're not as good at it, and this of course means soggy knees. If women are so easily dissuaded by not being sufficiently encouraged, they're probably not worth the effort. But what do I know, I'm a boypussy enthusiast.

>strongest

>not a triggered, quivering mess over every little thing

It's like you don't know these people.

B-b-but it's an empowered womyn they can look up to!

Even the male pawns can become queens! Look how empowering it is!

Granted they don't have the brain capacity to learn how to play, and will cry misogyny the moment their queen is taken.

The funny thing about chess as a major competition is that it has a men and women's division. Maybe a little surprising since there's no real physical element involved, right? But it gets more interesting when you consider than although men are barred from playing in the female division, women aren't barred from entering the male division. So if it has what is essentially a gender neutral division and a female division, why have two divisions at all? Because for the most part, when women play in the men's division they get absolutely rekt so they have their own, separate system for competition where women can be represented.

That struck me as the weirdest shit when I found out.

Let's figure it out, shall we? Let's ask Anita:

Is the death of the queen tragic?

no.

Is there some kind of fail state when the queen dies?

no.

Can a presumed white male player manipulate the queen?

yes.

Is the queen equal to the smurfette (being the only female piece on the board)?

yes.

Maximum triggering engaged.

Can you use the camera to avoid seeing the King's ass (rather than the Queen's)?

CHECKMATE MOTHERFUCKER!

The ending of this says so much about the difference between SJWs and normal people. Compare the faces on Milo and that chick when they're wrapping up what's clearly meant to be a friendly discourse.

>Biology is reductive, using the "everything is a social construct get out of jail for free" card is not.

Paraphrasing a bit here…

>"It's almost victim blaming in a way"

You've forgot the "I feel like" start to get the magic combo of weaseling your way through an argument.

>We don't live in a meritocracy

INB4 demanding quotas.

That being said, I've read a study claiming that chess relies more on memory than actual skills.

With some reserves (which probably goes the same way for video games with trial and error mechanics, such as the original MegaMan series)…

>As you become familiar with the game, the rules of the game and how pieces are related to each other in a particular position form the key associations which your brain can easily use to catalog and recall them later. In chess there is no substitute for playing, practice, practice, and more practice in order to become better.
