women players
Sorry, but I have never seen a woman player that could hand me my hat ...
The best women players are only
65-85% strength of the best men players. Allison, Karen, and Jeanette, and Jean Balukas being the 85% ones.
In fact, I have never seen a woman that I would say is over a 7 speed in the amateur rankings, and that includes the Canadian Twins that won international championships in Vegas. When women get that good, they will start gambling like men do, and I mean for more than
$5. They just don't have the grit and the gamble to get there, no offense meant
ladies, just a fact ... and I have played
40 years in many places.
