Not trying to be a jerk but. Are women worse at chess than men?

I really don't want to be a jerk. Its an honest question

Don't worry my friend, you don't need to try to be a jerk

more men play chess than women, therefore, by the rules of mathematics, there are more good male chess players than female ones. 

Considering women like the Polgar sisters, etc. could play 60 players like me simultaneously and win all 60, I'm convinced women are NOT inferior chess players.  Yes, they tend to average less than the average many but that's likely to be a socially induced problem. They may have a harder time being aggressive, something that's often more encouraged in men than women and which is what chess requires.

I coached a high school chess team, including a State Scholastic Tournament's Women's Champion and she, Grace, would often urge some of the more timid boys who joined the Chess Club to be more aggressive.  Grace would play a game on a soccer (football) team in the morning, then show up for a chess tournament at 1 pm recharged and ready to go.  She became a math teacher.  So it's clear that NOT every woman is afraid to be aggressive!

Yes.

Jerk.

There's basically no difference.

Although as with IQ and mental illness, I suspect males have higher representation at both the highest and lowest ends of the bell curve... but yes, any time we're dealing with extremely rare outliers the size of the population is very important. In other words there will never be a female world champion unless many young girls are participating.

But anyway, like I said, basically the same. The 200 rating gap for FIDE W-titles is ridiculous.

Your observations are correct: women just don't play chess as well as men.  It's in the way the brain works.

Men and women used to be completely different (a long time ago, men came from mars and women from venus, check the Internet if you don't believe me).  Those 2 planets are very far apart so they never had a chance to meet and evolved separately.  Once they got to earth, over the years, there's been some mixing but it still can't erase 4 BILLION YEARS of separate evolution.

Women are really good at kitchen work, like washing dishes and feeding the dog.  Men are good are thinking tasks like playing video games and chess.

Like kicking someone on the groin and then saying "no harm no foul"

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

The rest of us needed the 10000 hours of practice. 

The kick could have killed the fowl. 

lmao looks like a solid argument. No puedo argumentar ante una lógica tan sólida. I cannot argue to such a solid logic.

And FLA LA LA LA LAA la LA LA la

And Polgar Judit peaked in 2005 at 8th of men.

No one else has got that far. Hou Yifan has peaked at 55th position.

The Fide site rankings:

begin from 2000. Does anyone know how Chiburdanidze around her peak in 1987 compared against men?

Found it:

Chiburdanidze seems to have peaked at 48th position, in January 1988.

Which is above Hou Yifan.

not trying, just being

crusty soy boys.

Delete this post if you know what's good for you.

You recently sent me a friend request, so I feel bad

It's not actually racist though, I think she's laughing because she knows whatever she was going to say is really dumb.
