solid show 👍

It was interesting how most of the men, such as Townes, Matt and Mike immediately came to admire her as a chess player. The worst people seemed to be the press who emphasized her being a girl playing a "man's game". She said she didn't like some of the news articles that appeared about her.

Yeah, I was surprised by this. The writer(s) didn't take the easy route of man-bashing and instead actually made the dudes very supportive of her and made her appreciative of them.

It was refreshing.

It's almost as if your type are looking to be offended.
