And of course you are 1% as good as her. This is the same point I
made to Louise. Here we have one of the best female players in the
world and this is how she is being treated by a male player. After a
while, no wonder why so many other female players (especially the
younger ones) quit.

well Leslie
I don't notice you discussing the topic with rationality. Maybe people
like you contribute to players of both genders quitting chess.

Leslie is a name that is assigned both to males and females. You may
have heard of the brothers Robin and Leslie Ault. Robin won the U.S.
Junior Championship back about 1960.

Yes and that was back in the days when winning that tournament provided an
invitation to the U.S. championship round robin. Robin crashed and burned
big-time, going 0-12.

You think an Expert is one percent as good as a GM?
