Glad you found it helpful! Holly always shares such great insights. Thanks for watching!💖

Thank you! It was a pleasure having you on the podcast.💖

Coming from someone who can't even spell the insult!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that :) I have great guests so it makes it easy!

Thank you so much! Hope you're enjoying the new season

Thank you so much. Tara was very fun to interview!

Haha I know! I love it though!

Then you obviously haven’t been looking. There have been at least 15 reports in the last couple of months!

Zero documentation of actual assault. Just vague assertions.

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 - You mean like the #MeToo Movement ?

It's not misogyny to simply note that men are dominant in the game.

The Botez sisters have just "adapted" to a toxic male environment, but that is not fixing the problem. The root is still misoginy and no good structure works: we have seen it failing in other globally famous cases, like Depp vs Heard, Jeffrey Epstein, James Franco, Harvey Weinstein, Marcelo Gomes, Al Franken, Woody Allen and many more, ALL THOSE used a good structure and proof when they had it, problem is these men KNOW proof is difficult to get in thise situations, that's why they normally get away with traumatizing healthy and happy women and girls.

Isn't that enough violence for you and our society to stop asking for living proof or a video or pictures?? Why would a group of women accuse an innocent man?? Isn't it more likely (and its been prove) that man will get used to get away with sexual violence ince and then repeats it, thus pushing that group of women onto existence with his misoginy?? We males know that's a fact, IT'S NOT THAT WOMEN NEED PROOF, we have the proof, those men have a terrible reputation for a reason, and that reason is a constante hate towards women (yeah, we know they disguise it as "love for women" but they don't really RESPECT any single of of them). That's a tragedy and global injustice with us, other men, asking for proof where it's difficult to have it or impossible. If you want to help, first you need to understand the context.

Or that she's just another attention seeking SJW grifter.

Sabrina's grift more like.

Chess is inclusive. If you can win you can play. Women just aren't as good at chess as men on average. This is just a simple fact.

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Given the abuse female chess players have faced, I don't think we can say chess is inclusive, or at least I'd ask how in your experience you would view chess as inclusive.

@@the98thcentWhat abuse? I need documentation. This is just hearsay.

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 My sister was raped. We have all had to deal with the devastating consequences. She was afraid to go to court because it was two gang members. According to you, I should simply say, I'm sorry, I won't believe you until there's a conviction. Only a handful of rapes out of every thousand cases ever end in a conviction. According to you, the families of those raped - men and women - that don't end with someone behind bars should say to their loved ones, I'm sorry, haven't you heard of 'innocent until proven guilty?'.

She's not the first one talking about this, in fact there a collective letter with accusations of the same type and famous female chess players are speaking up about it. It is just sad that it takes "a famous one" to then makes us males listen.

This comment alone proves why women don’t come forward. You’re suggesting that this is not true and you don’t believe them. Please tell me something… how do you “evidence sexual assault”? Please show me case law which provides clear cut evidence? Even with semen samples, you had to have been there to prove it wasn’t consensual. Good job that there are witnesses to public displays of sexual assault due to the fact that this is seen as so normal. But please do enlighten us as to what “evidence” you’d like to see.

@@nobullshittalks it is an underlying principle that forms the foundational basis of our legal system. Are we to blindly believe any accusation due to lack of dangly appendage between the accuser's legs?

@@BobBob-yf3zo And yet I’ve just explained the precedent in the case law of cases like this, and you still have a ridiculous sexist remark. As I said, plenty of eye witnesses. I really hope you don’t have a mother, daughter or sister who finds themselves in a horrible situation and you demand evidence off them.

A simple question and you're literally frothing at the mouth. You're a fanatic and your emotive meandering babble is clearly ideologically driven. In answer to my question, I'll take that as a NO then lol

@@stevedeall425 I can happily provide evidence. But now is not the time. I have saved years of correspondence too. I am not the only one My issue is the fact that the default is that it’s only the men who instantly choose to accuse the woman of lying instead of showing concern

I’m so so sorry to hear this. That’s awful that you need to do this and that it still happens to you online! I think each playing platform needs to address this, as it’s not right that it’s considered as something we have to deal with.

@@sabrinachevannes7544 The thing that most annoys me is that women playing online often make ourselves invisible. My opponents always assume I am a man, and refer to me as Bro, etc. When I have let my guard down in the past and told them I am a woman they kick in with innuendo, insults, inquire as to what man am I trying to impress (I actually taught my husband chess, he was trying to impress me!) When they lose to me it's a fluke or they were distracted by imagined sexiness, or they accuse me of cheating - or they suddenly start playing the top engine moves with machine like precision and speed, then sneer if they win. Honestly, I wonder how many online women players hide their identities, leading to a perception we are not there. It's no wonder women find it harder to reach the top levels, we have so much else to fight against. I stopped playing against men over the board for a long time at university, when the male students kept demanding 'strip chess.' Obviously I never played it, but it put me off chess in public spaces. I am getting over it though. This November coming I will play my first OTB tournament in over 30 years. I teach kids in our local library - the girls definitely need space to play without boys being overbearing, so the girls get one on one, or we play in a café when boys aren't around.

Wow, you’re so involved in chess! I’m glad you’re an ally, and that you appreciate what goes on. I hope that if you ever see anything inappropriate ever, you will take action as an arbiter and ensure that their behaviour is exposed.

Since when are there sexual assaults on women at chess tournaments? They are probably the safest place on earth.

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Have you ever been to one?! Reports have stated that this has been going on for over 5 decades… that we know.

Thank you! The sexism and racism have been hard to deal with, but I put up with it for 20 years or so. Just accepted it like it was part and parcel of being who I am. But it shouldn’t be. It should not be tolerated and I think organisations shouldn’t allow it to become the norm.

We need to talk more about these issues, no women or girl should have a dream of having a chess career to then be shattered by misoginy.
