So is your argument that women are inherently inferior at chess or…?

What you have just said is that there is a cultural difference and I agree with that. Dont confuse that with a difference based on sex, or physiology, in other words.
Obviously, men and women on a 1:1 basis have equal potential to excel at chess, based on their sex, right?

I can’t help you to understand the difference between cultural statistics and physiological potential I guess lol
What’s your suggestion? Abolish the women-only league?
Why would that be my suggestion. My suggestion is you lot need to learn how to fucking read statistics lol. I don’t give a fuck about chess, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that women are not worse at chess because they are women. The only thing the chess numbers prove is that men play chess at a professional/competitive level at much higher rates than women.
I understand statistics just fine. Fuck you for “you lot”.
I was asking you a question because I was genuinely curious, but you can fuck right off with that attidute.
You’re just virtue signalling without giving any suggestions on how to improve the situation.
Don’t bother replying, asshat.
You did see the numbers? I mean, what else do you need?
I weep for your (in)ability to interpret statistics.
Anyone know what the highest rated trans male and trans female chess players are? Would be interesting to know if this rule is even currently necessary.
I can’t find any trans men ranked, but the highest rating I can find for a trans woman is Natalia Pares Vives with a ranking of 2213, or about 325th on the chess.com women’s rankings.
