| Chopin: <SBC> & <Emperor> We have to define what we mean by competition- is it referring exclusively to sports? In the corporate world, my female co-workers are as competitive as me. In academics, I believe it's the same. When I said in my earlier post," Men don't like losing to women"- that doesn't imply that men are "sore losers" either- we'll take a loss with dignity; naturally some men don't. As Susan Polgar said," Win with grace and lose with dignity". Here's my own example: I use to frequently play chess with this women, and when we initially started playing, I always managed to win. She wasn't a bad chess player, however couldn't seal the deal. This one particular game, I made a terrible blunder and she didn't see it- missing a very simple mating combination. This was an interesting position, because after surviving the potential mate, I had a clear win. After she made her erroneous move, I resigned and showed her the winning combination. I confessed that she deserved to win, and I was simply lucky to survive; winning isn't everything. After that game she did manage to beat me a few more times. <PaulLovric: <Chopin> for your profile: "to all born again christians on chesssgames.com, you await the lion's den" or somthing like that.... funny profile, do you like chess??> LOL, thank you. I do like chess, but I don't compete in tournaments- chess is merely an intellectual past time for me. |

| hitman84: <Chopin>Kasparov doesen like losin to women remember the game he cheated against Judit polgar where he left the N and picked it up quickly and placed it elsewhere and judit granted him the take back. |

| Chopin: <hitman><..he cheated against Judit polgar where he left the N and picked it up quickly> I remember that- remember his loss against Radjabov, where he refused to shake his hand after the match. Kasparov vs Radjabov, 2003 |

| EmperorAtahualpa: <chessgames.com> I noticed you changed the name of this beauty from "Elia" to "Evangelia". I'm not sure if you're correct. It seems that she usually goes by the name of Elia. See this link:

p.s.: By the way, interestingly, my ex-girlfriend's name is Evangelia. :) |

| Jim Bartle: That's true, Kasparov didn't like losing to women...or boys, or girls, or computers, or men. |
|

| EmperorAtahualpa: <Chopin> Wow, I knew about that match against Radjabov, but I didn't know about Kasparov's awful behavior after the game. What a disgrace! |
|

| Karpova: well, it became quite lachrymose after Kasparov-Radjabov was awarded the prize for the most beautiful game of the tournament.
kasparov behaved like a little child. |
|
| Jan-04-06 |
| Chopin: <EmperorAtahualpa> Actually, the problem with Kasparov was that he couldn't handle losses; the funny thing is that, there weren't too many. Remember his loss in 1997 against Deep blue- accused IBM of cheating. |
|

|
| hitman84: <Chopin>it has been proved that IBM indeed cheated kasparov wait i need to look for the link a movie also has been directed of how IBM managed to do it. |

| Jafar219: <EmperorAtahualpa> do you really think that this girl is very beautiful?? |

| Chopin: <hitman> <<Chopin>it has been proved that IBM indeed cheated kasparov> It's called Game Over, and I have the documentary at home. I don't think anything has been <proven>. Kasparov made some valid points, but I believe most of them have been refuted. |

| hitman84: <Chopin>yes some of the GM's had commented that computer could not have moved that move i had colected many more links guess have lost it in my mail. |

| EmperorAtahualpa: <do you really think that this girl is very beautiful??> <Jafar219> Yes I do, but something is telling me you disagree. :) |
|
| Jan-04-06 |
| Chopin: <Emperor> Just curious are there a lot of Moroccans living in the Netherlands. Man, I had a few friends from Morocco- LOL- I'm telling you, these guys know how to party. I'm also a huge fan of middle-eastern food as well, especially Lebanese- Oh yeah, Lebanese women are hot! :) |

Now that angelina girl is a pretty chess player. Better than Dafnae what's-her-name if you ask me. Good pick this time. By the way, are you studying games of chess players or curves of female players. Greece kicks ass--> Santorini is a paradise.
<chopin> Are you sure it hurts to lose to women players in general? Not just something personal with your sister? Haha. Well, I felt that way too. When I was really young, I would almost always lose against her, now I could give her odds after odds after odds blindfold 1 sec. per move and I would still crush her. Sweet revenge... |

| Chopin: <The Pawn> <Are you sure it hurts to lose to women players in general? Not just something personal with your sister? Haha.>
LMAO! Now you're getting personal :) God, my older sister would kill me in chess growing up; Oh the pain I had to endure for years -sob sob!!. I'm totally over it now...GOD I HATE HER!! :) Actually, I can crush her now- only because she hasn't played chess for such a long time. But if she kept up with it, watch out Polgar :) |

By the way, are you studying games of chess players or curves of female players.> <THE pawn> Thanks for your approval. :) And I DO care about chess, although nicely curved players can spice up the game a little too, wouldn't you say? :) |

| Jafar219: <<EmperorAtahualpa>:something is telling me you disagree. :)> Tastes differ :) |
|

| Chopin: <EmperorAtahualpa> <although nicely curved players can spice up the game a little too> Nicely curved women can spice up anything, let alone a chess game. Even country music, in the presence of a beautiful women, is tolerable. |
