I remember Bishop Williamson told us in seminary that he did not think that men should play women in chess.  I remember telling myself that day, "Man, this bishop is old school for sure."  The truth of the matter is that a mediocre man in chess will beat the best of the women.  It is an interesting thing why women fall apart when they play chess masters. 

I played Bp. Williamson and the game lasted for a week.  He finally got the better of me. Fun times.

Wow, this gives further insight into the Marylike-Standards of modesty.

It appears some of the bare minimum standards (skirts just past the knees) were for girls, but not appropriate for grown women. Based on Pope Pius XI's standards below for receiving audiences with women, Cardinal Maffi wrote a pastoral letter forbidding women who were not in ankle-length skirts from receiving Holy Communion and Confession. Sleeves above the elbow were also forbidden, for both girls and women.

From The Catholic World in Pictures, 28 September 1925:

I’ll play you in a game of chess!  I’m terrible at chess, but I like it to see the different strategies after I get trounced. What is obvious to others (not just males) somehow goes unnoticed by me until I hear “mate!” 
Guarantee I do not “fall apart” after losing, at chess or any other game. It’s a game! 
I should think it more sensible for you to fall apart after losing to me!
