| John Thornton: I read somewhere recently that Sweden is the most feminized country in the world. So it wouldn't suprise me if this <acirce> has his own identity issues. |

| Open Defence: he is stating a point agreed to by many psychologists and he is a very well respected kibitzer here... |

| Open Defence: what interests me about gender reassignment and chess players though is that do the "male and "female" so called "brain differences" in say spatial ability etc on account of which some say "male brains" seem better tuned for chess, manifest in the games of strong players who have opted for a gender reassignment.. I'm sure it may be a topic of study for psychologists who are interested in this subject, but of course this doesn't belong on the Chandler page... |

| John Thornton: Borg won 5 Wimbledons straight; <acirce> is a very well-respected kibitzer on a chess website; you see the progression? I fear Edberg marked the end of the Swedish tennis school. |

| John Thornton: <I'm sure it may be a topic of study for psychologists who are interested in this subject> Well, if you can locate a sample group somewhat greater than the presently suggested number of two, it could even eventually result in a paper in an obscure Swedish psychology journal. |

I believe that what often drives a person to have gender reassignment surgery is that their brain is actually more like the opposite gender (the one they are changing too). In fact, that's the whole issue really: body is one gender while the mind (which is heavily linked to but not identical to the brain) is the other gender. This conflict can cause issues for life unless one thing changes gender, and changing the body is so much easier (and possible) than changing the mind (which is difficult if even possible). But I'm not much of a psychologist anyway, so don't believe any of what I just said. |

| Karpova: <John Thornton: When I take a pee, I stand up;> I want to congratulate you on your courage. You already mentioned impotency and now you're talking about your peeing habit. One might argue that a chess site was not the right place for it but I think that we shouldn't nit-pick. It's much more important that you start to frankly discuss your problems and sorrow. To keep silent helps no one and merely increases the pain. But now you are a role model for those who are still afraid to confide in others. The longest journey begins with the first step! |

| MariaMagdalena: <Open Defence: what interests me about gender reassignment and chess players though is that do the "male and "female" so called "brain differences" in say spatial ability etc ....> What about are you really interested in this argument ? Perhaps I can help you. |

| waustad: When I met him in Vienna in '78 he was having trouble with the NZ Chess officials. He wanted to drop out of school to be a professional chess player and they wanted to prevent him from doing so. He played in the World Juniors as the Asian Junior champ, not for NZ. |

| Stanley Yee: Happy birthday Murray. Your games from Congress are very interesting indeed. You almost refute the French against Mike Steadman, ditto with the Caro-Kann against Bob Smith, and ditto with the Centre Counter against Graeme Spain. Then you played the Bogo in the Two Knights against Herman van Riemsdijk who didn't even know it. I seem to remember that when we were schoolboys we played similar openings, the Two Knights being one of those, and I'm in a way glad you haven't let people sway you to play the Ruy Lopez habitually. I also remember you always played, as White, the c3, d4, e4 formation with Bd3 so I was not surprised to see you author the c3 Sicilian. Ditto re the English Attack, as we also used to play the Yugoslav Attack. Some things are worth keeping. |

| GrahamClayton: It is a little known fact that Murray Chandler wrote his first book back in 1975 at the age of 15. "A White Pawn in Europe" gave his games at the World Junior Championship in Yugoslavia and some English tourneys played from August to November in 1975. |
