Why are there separate titles for women?

So, you're saying women have as big cognitive disadvantage as muscular when competing vs men???

💀💀💀

IDK why they have separate titles

you had to necropost didnt you

Idk, it's probably because women don't play chess as much as men, so it might be to make getting a title easier for them, to motivate them.

But in no way are women worse. the reason most grandmasters are male is because most chess players are male.

I mean Judit Polgar beat carlsen and kasparov lol

Seems like a nekrod clickbait troll thread but the real answer is simple.  The idea is to incentivize more woman to play chess. Yes its really that simple and while I'm sure plenty disagree there is your answer.

bro is it just me or is this whole "arguement" just : Men > Women







Well not that i disagree

In starcraft 2 Korean pro players cannot participate in some but not all foreign tournaments but the foreign players can play in korean league if they want to. I think the idea is the same, to encourage more to play from the historically weaker player base.

Because there would be 11 women with the "GM" title, it's like in the Olympics there is also separation because of gender. Men can analyze and can think analytically better. It's just not fair.

"men can analyze and can think analytically better"

ayo no need to be sexist. in the olympics, there is a separation because men are usually physically stronger than women, as they are larger and have more muscle (usually).

But in chess, there is nothing physical. There is no proof, and no reason to think that men are better than women at chess. Look at Judit Polgar for instance. She's a GM! She beat 11 world champions! 

Find me some reason to believe that men are better at chess, for instance, a research paper with sources. Then I'll think it a possibility.

because women are weaker

bruh what? that is the dumbest thing i've ever heard on the site.

so Judit Polgar is "weak"? Aka, the person who beat 11 world champions is "weak"?

Why do women get titles with lower ratings? women are just as good as men mentally, what is going on?
