Vrouens is vir jare uit die skaakgemeenskap uitgesluit omdat skaak net as ‘n ‘manlike’ sport gesien is. Hier is dan ook bewyse dat vroue van die vroegste tye af ook skaak gespeel het. Hierdie afbeeldings het ek van die Bodleian aanlyn biblioteek gekry.
Chess was seen as a ‘male’ sport and it’s great to know that so many females and girls are now playing this sport too.

Spoken by great men:"Give me 20 divisions of American soldiers and I will breach Europe. Give me 15 consisting of Englishmen and I will advance to the borders of Berlin. Give me two divisions of those marvellous fighting Boers and I will remove Germany from the face of the earth." - Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery, Commander of the Allied Forces during WW2.
"The Americans fight for a free world, the English mostly for honour, glory and medals, the French and Canadians decide too late that they have to participate. The Italians are too scared to fight, the Russians have no choice. The Germans for their Fatherland. The Boers? Those sons of Bitches fight for the hell of it." American General, George 'Guts and Glory' Patton.
