Replying to a redditor:

> What do many people get wrong when discussing women’s participation in chess?

> Just do not compare always girls to girls and women to women. Look at the chess moves. a 1900 player is a 1900 player regardless of gender.

Replying to a redditor:

> Why are you always better than your co-commentators at seeing tactics, even if they are higher rated than you?

> Thanks for your comment! :) Probably because I simply LOVE tactics and I was growing up with solving tens of thousands of puzzles and also endless chess compositions. I developed my imagination and my belief in magic! :)
