Thank you Arthur,
Sabine Meyer moves , and her movements are musical and convincing.
She is also a very lucky women , not only because of her talent and success- but also because
she gets wonderful support from her husband Reiner Wehle and her brother Wolfgang Meyer. Thank to both of them
she can survive the unbelievable sexism around her.

I agree that she is a very lucky woman; I just don't see why you think this should be considered when commenting on her playing.
I also said that players should video themselves and ask whether their movements were distractions from the performance or not. I did NOT say that everyone (or indeed anyone) should follow my likes and dislikes; I merely said that they should know the effect of what they are doing. Where is the sexism in that? Indeed the only sexism I can find in this thread is yours when you imply that women players should be judged by a different standard. The women players with whom I have been privileged to play would be most insulted by that.
