When I first started playing on the forum (almost 2 years ago), one of my first opponents was Alexander (it sounds a bit strange, of course), and when we were chatting during games, he wrote using a MALE name. I thought, "Okay, I see," and so on. Later, it turned out that HE was SHE, and when I asked why she was pretending to be a guy, she said that she didn't want to get a "handicap" from guys, so she was hiding the fact that she was a girl. At the time, I didn't pay much attention to it. By the way, losing to a "girl" several times in a row was very frustrating...
