Gender bias

@Baeron-7 said ^

Maybe it would help if you‘d specify a bit more concretely how you adjust your play when seemingly playing a female player.

The whole reason i brought up this topic is for other people to also be honest that they use these psychological techniques [when it came to gender]....because I am honest about my views ......hope someone would also be honest ...then we can have detailed conversation ...

I do not have any issue wth the question, and using psychology, against opponents people do it all the time. But I do wonder what u do that is different. Especially in fast time. Also I am wondering how u think they play differently, and how you apply it. I also wonder if your not really doing some form of confirmation bias, that when u win "playing differently" u see a correlation, and rather than it being the opponent who is affected your simply playing better?

No.....this is not a confirmation bias thing......its a time tested research thing.....I was hoping to have a productive conversation about this but so far....all I got is people acting surprised that I even bring up such topics ...and some just acknowledging it but never really admitting that they use it.....so I will just scratch the surface......
Most text books will tell you the differences in cognitive behavior among the genders to be very subtle but there are overlaps. In some aspects but...one needs to consider all aspects of cognitive science to understand the major differences...in memory concentration contemplation and creativity....In general ...females excel in verbal memory, processing speed, and fine motor skills, while males show advantages in spatial, working memory, and other things which I wont mention for the sake of the topic ....

You're just way too bad at Chess to make use of this even if we assume it's possible.

Which I would strongly deny, variations between individuals are usually bigger than the variations between group averages.

Well ...I play chess to pass the time primarily......and I play a lot......so im not always concentrating on the game at hand...so my rating sucks......but the sheer volume of games I played have shown me a thing or two about gender psychology....And I admit....I don't always use it....but.... when I do......Most of the time....I end up winning the game.....

I agree there are differences. My questions was how do you actually approach it in a rapid game? Also how do u know that everyone here who has a female name is actually female? Would that affect the outcome? And I still wonder if your playing differently actually is more you playing better than otherwise. But I could be wrong.

People get upset easily online, especially when their opinions are challenged. We live in a day and age, when we cannot discuss things without being immediately labeled.
