First since some of you may have missed it, Trump has cancelled his Monday expose on the fraud in Georgia based on his advice from his attorneys. I can’t deny the wisdom of this because if I was his attorney I would recommend the same.

Now for the purpose of this rant. The World Chess Federation or some such thing has temporarily banned trans women from competing in female chess competitions until they can study the effects. I think this is ridiculous and can only be justified if you think women are inherently mentally inferior to men. I don’t.

There is no physical component to chess unless you consider the requirement to fight off boredom for hours on end., which is the reason I only played chess for a little while in my youth. I have zero tolerance for boredom.

I did play bridge for several years including tournaments with masters points available. I haven’t played in at least 25 years but I know that when I did men and women competed together. Neither sex has an inherent advantage unless you consider one intellectually inferior. Again I don’t.

So what are these chess gurus studying?
