Chess Bitch
Tuesday, January 03, 2006
In chess, the most powerful piece on the board is the Queen. Yet the game is male-dominated, and women players have to overcome negative stereotypes to prove themselves. Jennifer Shahade, the 2004 U.S. Women’s Chess champion, puts the spotlight on some of the world's greatest female players in Chess Bitch.
