Gender bias

@NotMagnusCarlsen42 said ^

I need to confess something.....just partly.....then we can go on from there .......is it just me or does everyone here adjust their game play based on the name of the player......
Because ...In my case.....I play bullet games so......when I see an opponent called....carol...susan....or mary..... for example....I take advantage of the differences in male and female cognitive psychology and adjust my game play accordingly.......let me know if any of you use such tactics...

How do you know their gender just by their name?

I don't know them......what I know is human thinking pattern....its physiology.... evolutionary differences of how one thinks to reach a conclusion.....what their percieved reaction and response might be to a stimuli...sound cadence vs visual cadence...subtle .differences on how we see... our hand eye coordination also...how you can...' lead 'someone based on subsequent games.......so... knowing what I know about human interraction.....I apply that to my benefit in the game......

It's funny how you quoted me but didn't answer my question.

I'm sorry to say this but women do not play chess differently than men.
Just like men can be aggressive, tactical, defensive, or positional, so can women.
Personality is not usually tied to gender and vice versa

I believe I was trying to answer you in the most detailed way possible.....At the beginning I stated I do not know them .... A man could come here with a female sounding name ...I wouldnt know and I could make a mistake...But everytime a female name comes up and I alter my game....I tend to win..........what I know is response patterns along gender lines to a stimuli....

But why do you alter it based on solely username? Besides, women can play the same as men, gender is not a deciding factor.

How do you even know it works? That you wouldn't have won anyway?

Well..you are right...women can play the same as men.....I play bullet chess games.....when you are racing against time and making so many fast moves......and quick decisions..... both men and women tend to do something different.......something interesting.....

I know it works because one gender seems to fall for the same setup over and over again.....than the other gender....

You are right its not that deep...its just a game ....the aim of which is to win.....but....there is no rule that says you have to be nice in how you move the pieces ...
