Title: Twisted views
Review: It's important to point out that, even in chess circles, the word bitch has never been used in a positive manner, and the (chess piece) queen has never been alluded to as a "bitch", as the publisher claims. Perhaps people not familiar with chess circles can buy into those silly arguments, but us real chess players (yes, I'm a chess player) know better than that.It's quite naive of anyone's part to try to justify the use of the word "bitch" as something other than an ill-advised attempt at drawing some attention to the book. In spite of the author (and Silman's) twisted explanations trying to present the word bitch in a positive light, the reacrtion is a natural one: no english-speaking person can point to an instance of the word "bitch" used in a non-pejorative way.The book itself is not interesting to people who are non feminist.
Is the review positive or negative?
