Just read an article about a FIDE tournament where a trans person was not able to play with women. I posted on social media that I don't think chess needs to be segregated by gender at all because there isn't a clear advantage either way (unlike some sports like say the MMA where arguably there is).
My friend disagrees and claims that men, especially at the top percentile, dominate. I responded that it could be because more men than women play chess.
I have had my clock cleaned in chess by many women. But I don't really have any statistics to back my opinion up that there isn't an advantage either way.
Is there a way to determine my chess.com win/loss ratio by gender? I don't recall if gender was being tracked when my account was setup in 2017. It would be interesting to see if I lose to a higher percentage of men or women.
I suspect that the ratio is very close to the same either way.
