      No, at least not in the sense that they are stupid.

      Boys tend to be more interested in chess at a younger age, unless you start playing chess professionally at a very young age you are probably never going to a top 100 player.

      It’s similar to why very few women become top tier in e-sport, they don’t typically have that interest at a very young age.

        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?

                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.

                    If calling out dumb cunts who think that there is a physiological aspect to chess in which sex is the deciding factor in success is virtue signaling then yep, that’s me. I don’t have any suggestions for dismantling the entire patriarchy at the moment, you’ll have to forgive me.

                    I don’t give a fuck about your curious attitude, clearly.
