Philador is totally off base. Good spelling and use of correct English is not appreciated on a gender only basis: British males are as much the enforcers of good English usage (you can't call them Nazis) as any females anywhere. They certainly are unlike their more sloppy male cousins across the Atlantic who don't seem to care about proper usage because they're lazy. And there's no reason why a woman can't equal a man at chess - if she felt like doing so.

Yeah. Then and than do not sound alike to anyone outside Yankee Land and could never be mistaken for one another.

Just in case nobody has already mentioned this (coming to this discussion late and can't trawl through 18 pages when - judging by the first few pages - a sizable percentage of the comments are sexist), check out the National Geographic documentary on Susan Polgar called 'My Brilliant Brain', which you can watch on her blog:

Susan and Judith Polgar are really the proof that the brain has no sex 
Their father trained them at chess just the way men chessplayers were trained, and they succeeded just like men (and I must say : more than most men !).
