> I know a guy, a chess trainer who trains girls. He always tries to schedule matches based on trainee period cycle to let his girls do their best. this seems really crazy to me. the person playing chess is an individual. whether it's the best time for them to play or not should be up to them. Whether it's before their period or before lunch: a million things affect us, and we all have agency in deciding what we want to do, and when. for the trainer to do this on another person's "behalf" is really distasteful and fails to be empathetic.
