Pleased to hear it.
The only reason that I remarked on it is that I've been playing a couple of people with female user names but when I looked at their profile, saw they're blokes. It would be great to have more female players.
As a matter of interest, has anyone played a woman yet? I've played 75 games so far (with 16 ongoing) and all of my opponents have been male. I know chess is a male-dominated activity but I'm surprised it's that dominant.
I've seen this a couple of times now. When I registered, my starting rating was 1000, how do some people get a higher rating? Do you start with a higher rating if you're a paid member?
