Length has nothing to do with the proof.

Don't be a jerk. There's never been a tournament for women only until now... I'm going out of my way to provide one and you are so perverse in your ways that you want to deny these girls their right to such an event?

Not only will you be removed - you will suffer the consequences of your actions.

This is a first for RHP - for the ladies to be able to compete in an event just for them. Of course Russ doesn't have code to 'bounce' males from entering the tournament, that's not the point. The point is that I wanted to sponsor such an event and Russ thought it might be fun for the girls.

Now what's happening? The guys are entering the tournaments as a joke - but it's NOT a joke to the women here. In fact, you guys are killing the event because who wants to play against high-rated guys for a t-shirt anyways?

I personally feel it's time for the guys who wanted to make a point, or join in the joke, to remove themselves from the events so that the tournament can proceed.

I guarantee you, I am not going to buy XanthosNZ a t-shirt.

Let the girls have their fun. Every single one of them is special just to be playing on this site - so why are you guys ruining it for them?

sounds like "gender kiss up" to me. Why cant the women compete on the same level as the guys?
having a "special tournament" for them, is saying: "you poor weak girls, here heres a little place for you to play." We know you not as good as us macho men, so heres a girls only event just for you.🙄

Maybe the women feel like they can hang with the dudes, and dont need to be reminded there "just girls" 😠

Arn't you just demeaning the women on this site by suggesting that they have no chance of winning tournaments with men involved?

Nice sponsor.

There are gender specific competitions in all sports. Why not chess?

By the way it will take ages to fill and start the 1300+,three days,three women entered,seems like they don't care that much........
I agree with the ones who say that it appears just like a big ass-licking by arrakis.

Of course not. In fact, the opposite is true! By giving them a tournament especially for them it shows that RHP recognizes women as an important factor to this site.

I see that you are rated at 1237, Freddie. How would you like to only be able to play in tournaments with 2000+ players?

I think the only people who have a problem with this idea are guys who have some problems in society. Guess what? Guys who have these problems need to get their heads straight - women are now exceeding in math, engineering and management skills.
