Ever wonder why there are separate Men's and Women's Chess?

For physical sports it makes sense since there are obvious biological differences between men and women.

But the game of Chess is all intellectual and strategy. You use your mind not your body. So why is there

gender separate Chess tournaments and competitions? Makes no sense to me...

maybe the tits are an illegal distraction? idk lol

Yeah that’s weird, even women are allowed to compete against males in poker, why not chess?

Is it because it will show the superiority of the male brain?

Because that's what woman wanted.

Woman have never been formally banned from playing NBA, MLB, or NFL. They just don't have the stats to be accepted to the team. Same with 99% of other males. The woman made their own league for a level playing field.

Woman and men do play chess together, but the over representation of men makes it hard for woman. Therefore woman wanted a womans league to represent female chess players.

Interesting note, while woman have not been banned from playing in most predominantly male dominated sports, men are indeed banned from playing in any womans league.

The men are just way better at chess than the women.


Out of the top 100 chess players in the world, I think 2 are women.

Cause poker involves a good deal of bulls**tting therefore what you lack in brain power can be compensated with other skills...I guess.

most outliers of intelligence are males. the data shows this. people wont say the truth. Most extremely smart people are men. Women simply cannot compete and women wouldnt exist in chess if they didnt self segregate and compete against each other on a more even ground.

Maybe you're a chessbrah and know this for a fact, but doesn't seem this way. Every casual female chess player I've gone against is garbage, compared to any guy I've played against who's only played a couple times

Based on your experience in chess so far, have you ever felt any overt gender differences in the way men and women play the game?

Nope. And most girls dont even play chess. Those who do got pawned right away(no pun intended, no sexist, might be anecdotal).

An ugly girl makes more on onlyfans than the best female chess player. I wouldn't bother if I was them either.
