Perhaps I stated this wrong or did not fully explain my position on the "weak
title issue". I am not trying to say that woman are weak in general but the wgm
title is not as strong as the men's GM title nor is the wim title as strong as
the men's IM. This has been my observation from playing titled players. I for
one think that the 'W' should be droped and if they earn mens titles then great
let them have it, several woman have proved that this can be done, so there is
no great need for both.
WGM <= IM
WIM <= FM
BTW: I think you missed my main point, I just love playing woman :) and
definitely more than mashines.
