EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.<br />Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.<br />Email him at: Emutemple@gmail.com <br />Call or Whats-app him: +2347012841542Tucker Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803726052277720550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130875298893755906.post-4702728922038267272012-01-14T07:45:41.358-08:002012-01-14T07:45:41.358-08:00"Alhough I'm proud of her, I secretly won..."Alhough I'm proud of her, I secretly wonder whether this will end up being a waste of time and money. After all, only 5% of registered tournament players are women, and there is only one woman ranked among the top 100 players in the world."<br /><br />I hope your daughter does not lose interest. If so, it would still not be a waste of time and money. Women have been playing chess for many years I am not sure what are your concerns. It's a good game.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413246259227400917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130875298893755906.post-5263288974348822382011-12-21T18:30:03.999-08:002011-12-21T18:30:03.999-08:00Totally agree with you -- there are benefits to pl...Totally agree with you -- there are benefits to playing chess (learning strategic thinking, how to win and lose gracefully, etc.), even if you can't be the best.

I had a few thoughts.
First, at the b...Good post. I had a few thoughts.<br /><br />First, at the beginning, you say, "I secretly wonder whether this will end up being a waste of time and money." The answer to this question depends almost entirely on what your goal is. Is your goal for her to become the first world champion at chess that is a woman? Is it for her to make her living at chess? Or is it simply to develop some skills in her that she has a talent for and some other skills along the way? <br /><br />It seems to me that even if your child were a boy that was talented at chess, the odds of him becoming the world champion are still extremely slim, and the odds of him even being able to make a decent living at chess are likewise very slim. Tal Shaked, the youngest American to reach GM, plays very little if any competitive chess anymore. He makes his living doing other things.<br /><br />However, there are all kinds of healthy goals that can go along just fine with developing your daughter's talents. <br /><br />Second, the psychology of playing your opponent is most certainly a part of the game of chess. Who my opponent is involves many other factors besides just gender, and playing the opponent is a part of playing tournament chess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130875298893755906.post-10788760223220207322011-10-22T09:00:47.168-07:002011-10-22T09:00:47.168-07:00Just polled a 7 and 3 year old girl and they think...Just polled a 7 and 3 year old girl and they think chess IS for girls. Your daughter can excel at and enjoy chess and benefit without being a top 100 player. No waste, she is developing her brain and training in strategy, memory, etc! Great blog, just read a few and will keep reading. Thanks for your input on alcohol consumption during breastfeeding too.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676438195898622249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130875298893755906.post-9147395720804352682011-10-04T11:48:00.950-07:002011-10-04T11:48:00.950-07:00Great post!
