There'd be no chess clubs left in this country if this happened here! :lol:

That's because most British females' intuition tells them that in a longterm rivalry with Caissa they'd probably lose out.

There is sometimes the odd marriage of convenience when a lucky chess-playing son of Mars meets that rare bird - a daughter of Caissa.

There is a tornament where they only give money prizes. There is no certificate. Is it worth playing?

Yes. If you want the money and are likely to win any.

The money is not much, and it will not last

Depends on the disability, surely. I'm autistic and Tim Dickinson is deaf, but both of us get plenty of work as arbiters.

Well, I don't know too much about that condition, but it doesn't seem like it would necessarily prevent you from arbiting.
