The post that was quoted here has been removedAnd isn't it nice to know too, that women's chess in China is not dominated by racist Chinese men.
😠 😠 😳
@shavixmir saidAgreed.
To be a very good chess player probably means you tick a few autistic boxes.
You won’t really beat a grand master without total dedication and loads of studying. And very few people have that kind of focus.
And to the majority of people, autism (although high functioning, so low on the autistic scale) can feel a little strange.
All this being said, the girl in the Queen’s gambit seems more psychologically traumatized than autistic.
@cheesemaster said*Asperger's
Agreed.
Asberger syndrome. (High functioning autistics)
@cheesemaster saidNo problem, it is a funny word that sounds like "ass burgers".
My mistake 😉
