| |
| chesswhizkid: <Well, in a way, we do take out our aggression over the chessboard. My team is AMAZING this year. We beat the "best" team in our league 5-0 on Monday and are in clear first place, which makes us the complete overdogs of our half of MA. It's all thanks to this tiny freshman ... |

| chesswhizkid: <I have heard that men have better spatial visualisation skills than females, but I haven't done much reading on the subject and don't know if this is founded. It doesn't seem that unlikely when pondering some evidence for this, such as the two main areas (that I can think ... |
