Watching Rogan's interview with Riley Gaines & Rogan brought up that there are no female world champion chess players; Gaines said very little to no female players, period. Both were just commenting, no issues between them. As an aside, Gaines said she had dropped one of her SEC swimming trophies while getting back at Obermann's rant against her & the SEC had promptly sent her a new one.

IIRC men and women have essentially the same average IQ but women's is more clustered around the mean, while men have more outliers at both ends of the distribution curve. More geniuses = more chess grandmasters.

women are better schemers and planners, so that "should" make them much better chess players.

problem is, women are also very impatient so that hampers them and they get frustrated and start to make mistakes, and that is why you dont see women at the top of chess matches

Bowling, darts, pool

There are countless games that strength shouldn’t matter but men excel more than women.

One thing about chess and some other non-strength competitions you have to take into account is the number of girls that ever take up the pursuit. This alone gives men an advantage.

While that does give men an advantage it likely isn't the main and certainly not the only reason. The top-ranked women are just outside the top 100 men's ranking and the way chess ELO is determined is more or less an apples-to-apples comparison. Interestingly, 4 of the top 5 women players are from China, a place where they identify good players early and push them.

I married a very manipulative women who was a good chess player. After wasting a year and a half in the relationship, I really felt Rooked by this Queen. She made me feel like a Pawn, Knight and day. I decided to talk to the Bishop about getting an annulment. He asked me if I ever felt like a King in his Castle, or did my wife ignore me? I told him that as a Mate, she never Checked that box.
