Why are there so little female chess players?

And yes, Judit was only kind of close. By her own admission she was several levels below world champion level (a story Maurice Ashely told during one broadcast when he suggested to Polgar that she was pretty close).

At the same time, it's sort of amazing... this dad made all of his daughters GM level... he only picked 3 kids. He's either extremely lucky, or GM level isn't as hard as we might think, and we just need more young (and smart) girls in a good environment.

It's hard to say until someone donates me all those dollars and babies.

I think we just gotta admit that women are not as good at chess, althought not saying that is a bad thing or makes them stupid, it is just a skill that women are worse on average at this specific skill. I mean look at indians, some are decent at chess despite being a stupid race.

You could've ended with the first statement and left it at that lol. I have to agree I guess (atm until some female prodigy genius comes along) as a girl who plays chess. 

Race was not necessary to be brought in 

Agreed

"Quite frankly it was a racist comment "

well, it is also true, if people would accept facts and stop getting offended by the truth we could advance as a society!

 

It's really not the truth-

But this is coming from the person with the status

"Lichess is better than this sh1t site"

I am afraid that it is, if you watches less anime and actually went outside you would see what I am saying

I don't even watch anime so your point doesn't really work

lol coming from a person who doesnt even play chess I should not be surprised that you just add your opinion in chats in stead of doing something useful

I had another account that I cannot log into, so I'm using this one for the time being.

what is this discussion about at this point?

llama47

Not much. Will have to wait for others to log on and start a new fight / topic.

BockerSpaniel

nice, I am always surprised by the randomness of "chess" discussions, but I suppose it's a product of making a chess site social

llama47

People are people, whether they like chess or not tongue.png

BockerSpaniel

you are absolutely correct, I was merely questioning the synthesis of chess and a social media site
