When did sexuality mattered in a game of chess? Like do trans people get a buff at thinking or something?
The men can only move 1 square in any direction, while women can move anywhere on their row/column/diagonal. Clearly this biological difference is why they have separate men's and women's chess tournaments. Also, I hear trans people can double jump.
Damm double-jumping trannies coming to take my fish.
Men automatically get a +10 masculity buff. It's widely considered an overpowred stat in chess.
Stroking your beard also gives a +2 intelligence boost
Chess has long had different leagues for men and women
Yeah, but that doesn't make it right.
Never said it did. I'm answering your question. When did sexuality matter in game like chess? A very long time, because misogyny.
