	Talk:List of notable chess players - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I removed some names from the list of "famous" chess players because these names do not have any special significance in the history of chess (or in some cases, not yet, since some of the players are still active GM's).
		First, one might argue that strong female chess players are notably merely for their rarity.
		Given the existence of women's events, as well as the historical preponderance of men at the top ranks of chess players, it's foreseeable that some readers would have an interest in seeing a list that pulled out the women from the main list.

		After the end of the Dark Ages, which chess boards returned to nailing wooden boards to cats and witches, Chess has become exceedingly despised, and is used as a form or corporal punishment, and a way to make sure old people have something boring and dull to keep occupied with.
