@CSKA_Moscou when i think of prodigy I think of someone like Paul Murphy or Bobby Fischer. When I think of perfect training and hard work I think of Susan polgar

Read the Lichess blog which @QueenRosieMary linked before you keep churning out this garbage. It ́s got nothing to do with online chess, it ́s about OTB tournaments at a high level. And it has everything to do with being a woman and not a man.

Whereas Nigel Short considered Judit Polgar to be one of the 3 or 4 greatest chess prodigies of all time.
Btw - who on earth is Paul Murphy?

Well said, although it should be so obvious no one should have to say it. Trash talking ≠ sexual harassment...
The Lichess blog I linked is indeed about harassment at OTB tournaments, my blog is about sexual harassment of female players in online chess, two different faces of the same problem.

oops I confused the two sisters Susan and Judith... but they have the same talent and the same gigantic involvement in the world of chess. I talked about modern because if you go back to Morphy, don't forget that the situation was not the same. Fischer also had chess as a vocation, and even though his mother did not play chess, she encouraged him to follow this vocation, like Kasparov and Polgar.
@Wasted_Youth the entire blog was mostly about online chess. The very first paragraph is about how she’s reported 5 players in the last couple of months for harassment. That’s got nothing to do with her gender

Sexual harassment predominantly happens to women, no matter what you'd like to believe. I myself have gotten many proposals these last couple months, and I'm not even well-known for doing anything. The only reason - literally the only reason - is because my username sounds feminine.
Now I don't mind proposals so much - even the more graphic ones - except for the fact that I get them repeatedly after saying no, and that every time I block them they make a new account and continue. Now am I suggesting that Lichess isn't doing enough? Of course not! But I do think there should be some sort of mindset change, where harassment becomes less common.

Dude, you are complaining that some people are born with talent, and that some aren't. I don't see what there is to complain about, everyone has a different talent.
Not to mention - Beethoven wasn't a prodigy, yet we know him today as a prolific composer. How did that come about? Practice and hard work.
Don't use talent to justify things.

This is one of those posts that you really hope is sarcasm...
