Woman and Man both can equipoise Athletically abilities, Mind and Body...Humanity need to rebuild concepts to evolution...from ancient shadows of wisdom , Divinal Androgen is a Alchemical concept ,(for those yet consider only Alchemists as misticism, let me remember that was a first step to Chemical discoverings).Inner Alchemy education can create a balance that can make a Male good in social rols supossed for Females,and can make a Female good in supossed rols for Males.The hormonal differentiation do exist but do not mean superiority of gender over other ,but a different recurses.As example let me tell that I enjoy a lot female soccer.Specially about refers to Fair Play.Also enjoy a female choffers.We have a lot of excellent Female athletes
should there be gender separation in chess?
Let me disassemble in seconds the idea about one gender is better of other with proofs.Simply in this web we have lot of womans defeating mans.
Hernan, you totally missed point of this thread.
I disagree with you,specially reading the #2 ...All this said as far as I'm concerned
Agree that there shouldn't be separation in chess based on gender. I think woman and men should be able to compete with each other. I think woman titles were made to get more woman into chess and also because of the way woman were treated. But eventually, it's time to take the next step and get rid of the separation
The term destroyed was used, it is not appropriate on my opinnion. Please moderators chek unsportivity
men are just better and have more of an interest in chess. Women cannot keep up at the same level of men at top chess. They will get destroyed. It's not sexist, it's analytics. Men and women have the same level of intelligence.
Different tournaments seem to be be useful, to make it easier for female top players to make a living. Not so sure about female titles, since everyone knows that a WGM isn't a GM.
Hernan, stop with making this thread as your antistandup show. you just don't understand or don't want to understand what people write. chessgt wrote basicly same thing as jenium, just with differnet words.
Response to who invoque my name: Mister, In first : I already stopped before ,as I said in #7 : All this said as far as I'm concerned...I stopped by my own decision, not by indications. 2)I invoque free of expression.I think all is wrong expressed since the begin...bad use of expressions around athletics abbilities sugestions about sport or not sport.3)Sorry but Im not interested to continue this talks.As last comment I said,let moderatiom check.I will accept this thread even if Im disagree with others comments cause is my free right and free right of every all to be agree or not.Apparently my comment dont like a "personally" view.But there we need to tolerate all thoughts...
YIPPEE. SEGREGATION. Can't believe that this is a genuine question lol.
Agree !
No separation. Why leave it up to chess arbiters to define what a woman is? They aren't biologists.
Locked topic due to sexist and political comments.
Please see this presentation from the 2022 FIDE Exchange Forum, Facts and Myths about Gender in Chess. In short, the performance gap is primarily due to the participation gap. In other words, "we" (the chess community) need to do more to be welcoming and supportive of girls and women in chess. Women's titles and tournaments are one way of accomplishing this. Women can (and do) participate in open tournaments and receive open titles alongside men. I do not believe chess.com has women's only tournaments.
