chess game

i happened to be involved in and observed a chess game the other day. the first one, which i was playing, is between 2 females. (my friend and i) the one i observed was between 2 males. and i realized just by how each gender plays the game, the difference in a male and female's communication style.
in the game between females, all was quiet. women tend to remain silent during a game as probably a means to hid any intentions and tactics and then out of the blue, present a shocking move that wasnt expected by the opponent.

however, in the game between males, i find that each of the guys were constantly trying to psyche each other out. for example, if one guy takes too long, the other would say things like "scared already ah? the game just started, no need to scared" and when any of the pieces gets eaten, they'd say "i knew you were gonna do that. i purposely let you" and all other such things to make their opponent think that they have the game in control.

i find this to reflect how males and females communicate differently with each other.
