Why Men Dominate in the World of Chess

asian women what?

Men are more reckless so they tend to take more pieces.

Men perform better under large amounts of mental and physical stress.

It's not black and white. We know there are cultural differences but also some biological differences. Not as simple as "women are dumb".

Levy Rozman from gothamchess said in his days as a chess teacher that he did notice that his male students were more likely to lock themselves in a room and study chess.

Probably because historically women are told to do other things rather play this kind of stuff. We should encourage them to join us. And for anyone saying that men's nerves are faster or biologically smarter, where is the source?

Camila1133 That is not an excuse today. Because there are many women who are now dedicating their lives to chess and they come no where near the top male players

It's pretty much common sense that there are differences, just a question how big. Plenty of data online.

Here's some article on science direct

"Sex differences in intelligence and brain size: A paradox resolved"

I don't know why the world today has a hard time admitting that men and woman are created different, and are created with different roles and responsibilities.

Alot of promotion of equality nowadays and some people dont know where to draw the line.

On the contrary, there is no doubt that there is a correlation between general intelligence and standard of chess. Most strongly if you include non-players as having the bottom standard of chess - people with low IQs are very unlikely to have any interest in playing chess. However, general intelligence explains only a small fraction of variation, especially if you restrict the sample to strong players. It could be that extreme specialisation, or having the most highly refined special skills needed for chess, is slightly detrimental to IQ as it is associated with less developed intelligence of types irrelevant to chess.

Judit Polgar was one of the best players

The statistics suggest this is a dubious guess. It is rare for there to be a female player in the world top 100, but the proportion of players who are female is way higher than 1% (eg 14% of US rated players - can't seem to find global stats).

Whatever factors that may be involved, Judit Polgar was right about segregated tournaments. If women want equality in chess then they need to get rid of the special titles and compete in the same tournaments as the men. There has been a Women's World Chess Championship for over a hundred years now and the only excuse that anyone can use to explain the difference in playing strength without getting fired or canceled is its the men keeping them down. Judit Polgar is the only woman in history to ever break 2700 and there will probably not be another female chess player break that barrier as long as they are content playing weaker competition instead of losing tough games and learning from their mistakes. In the current US Chess Championship there is only one Grandmaster in the whole bunch with the lowest rated player rated under 2300.

Why would the genders be equal in chess? In general women do not like to waste their time on board games, amd often criticize men who play the game while simultaneously complaining there aren't enough women in such things.

Women and men have differences in their general interests, a lot more men enjoy chess than women do, in order to get a 50/50 gender representation in chess you would have to force women to play the game because that many wouldn't do so willingly.
