Everything has it's ideology. That is a part of the ideology of chess. "Jogo Real" is Portuguese for "Royal Game", and it's the title of a chess book published in Portugal in 1926. It's a nice ideology, let me say, but ideology is not reality, ok? I guess you can't mention one single member of one of the many "royal family's" that exists nowadays who plays chess regularly.

I personally believe that the tradition of putting female chess players on a different category should be dismantled and modified to unision. If we don't get many females in titled player category, it's up to them. It will also provoke them to try harder. If it was a matter of physical fight, I'd have a different opinion based on the general situation. 

If they want to play in their own league, who are you to say they can't?

He is probably saying that in context of the discussion. You want to argue about the fact that females are equally able as men are in terms of intellectual capacity , memory and intelligence that's required to play chess , but at the same time you are also promoting a system that's unfair because it gives an advantage to females.

Nice strawman right there. As if I said they "can't". 

"Why are there so little female chess players?"

Women are naturally shorter than men. I don't know why you're bringing height into it.

In highschool a friend asked me if you had to live in a board game which one would be the most interesting. I said chess.

His response was something like "wow, you actually picked the most boring one"

Or why women/girls involve themselves in anything for that matter.

The idea that women's lives revolve around men reminds me of an interview with some writer who was known for writing "good" (as in more interesting and well rounded) female characters. The interviewer asked for a comment on this, and reply was something along the lines of "I write them the same as male characters, because people are just people"

(and before conservatives poop themselves at the idea of women being people, I'm not saying there's no difference between genders, just that Jogo's idea of women as having as little personality as a chair reminded me of this)

There are two angles to it, one is nature and the other is nurture.

First let's talk about nature, the reason is because men have way more obsessive tendencies than women. It's not just about chess, ANYTHING which requires obsession to become good at it (like any sport, research etc) will always have way more men simply because men are more obsessive. We see this in every aspect of our lives, who are the best in chess? men. Which gender finds it harder to move on after breakup? men. Which gender pursues a love interest with more determination? men. 

Next, coming to social tendencies. Women are not used to such high and tough competiton. Society is pretty easy going on women and a woman is basically valued for simply existing while men are only valued when they provide something useful or achieve some accomplishments. Women, who are already valued by default, don't feel the need to put themselves in tough competition simply because they don't need to.  If a woman can achieve something great then awesome, she would be a role model. However if she is just average and a nice girl she would still be valued and respected by everyone.  
Men on the other hand cannot afford to be "failures". If a man achieves something then it's good. However if a man fails at something then he will be considered a failure and ignored by everyone. This pressure and fear of failure puts men in a position where to gain any love and respect they MUST accomplish something

I completely agree with Anonymous_Dragon.

Just like in chess, you should analyze before jumping to conclusions. 

Why are there so little female chess players?

I think chess would be a cool one, maybe not the coolest, but imagine being the king or queen or any piece! For the kings and queens, you'd be the most important! and for pawns you'd be saving the others all people think of it differently but not many people put a lot of thought into it. If anyone actually put in hours of thinking about this game or anything let me know! I wanna know what your thoughts are if I'm being 100% honest!

Yeah, he was thinking creatively like that.

I was just thinking I could play chess

Since the purpose of chess is to Crush the Ego, perhaps it's mostly men who need their ego crushed?

That would mean fewer men play.

You should instead say "perhaps it's mostly men who enjoy crushing egos"

One should not jump to conclusions about being better at chess and being more intelligent. Obviously intelligence is needed to do a good crochet or tapestry work. I am zero in that, many women are good, it doesn't mean they are clever than me. Intelligence is something over-complex and one has to view the complete picture (the many dimensions of intelligence) to have an idea about. 

When I was young there were few people who played chess clearly better than me in my region. One day I was humbled when a friend told me one of them was putting his money in a ponzi scam. I told myself: that stupid guy plays chess better than me?! I felt really ashamed.

What a troll! 

You look like a clever and educated person as well. That's for talking with people like you that I come to this place.
