There is something very important that you are avoiding here: IQ distribution. In women it appears to be more balanced, if you take 100 female, they will probably have similar IQ, but if you take 100 male, they will probably very different IQ one from another, some of them will have very low IQ and some of them very high IQ. This conclusions make sense when you take a look at evolution.

Fact- Men also have higher rating on average. And the thing is that there are less women in chess it means only best women are going into chess and for men all type of player are going into chess best average and worse. But men still beat women on average rating. It tell us that if women number increase in chess their average rating is going to go down even more.

I support women and men having equal opportunity. But I don't support forcing 50% women to 50% men in every field. Some countries under feminist leaders tried to force this and it was a failure. Men and women are inherently different so their life choices will also be. We must accept that even under total equality there will probably be more male engineers, more female nurses, more male chess champs etc.

I agree with what you are saying here. If a woman wants to put in the work and become a good chess player, then by all means, she can. but if there simply aren't very many women who want to play chess and it becomes a male dominated game by personal desire, there is nothing wrong with that. I don't see why society in general thinks that its automatically a bad thing that something is dominated by 1 of the 2 genders. It is just the fact of the matter that men and women are better suited to different things, and that's a good thing. Wouldn't it seem stupid if gardening communities started initiatives to involve men more? simply by desire, women want to do gardening more than men do, and there is nothing inherently bad about that.

I'm a female chess player. I'm not a great chess player, but I really enjoy it. I only started playing it because I ended up on a psych ward, got a box with 100 games in it, including chess. I gave it a go, decided it was too hard, then discovered that there were a lot of chess players on tne ward. I learned through playing other (mostly male) patients and doing my homework. It took a lot of dedication to get to grips with the game. I remember when I first realised I could remember how each peice moved with out needing a guide to refer to. It also took playing when I practically knew I would lose. I didn't win much on the psych ward. I was in the perfect environment to learn. Surrounded by chess players and plenty of free time for everyone. Most people thankfully don't end up in these environments, and if women are less likely to put the kind of dedication needed in the first place then it would make sense that less women play.

I don’t really buy the “societal encouragement” angle for a few reasons. 1) Society is already fairly unaccepting of chess generally. It is seen as a pastime for nerds. Chess clubs are seen as a place where weirdos converge. Many men are told they ought to be pursuing more manly endeavors like physical sports, etc. So lack of acceptance is not a problem unique to one sex. 2) History is replete with examples of male chess players who were the victims of massive slander/intimidation campaigns and still rose to brilliance. Chess was a massive PR interest for the USSR, which it used to prove Soviet intellectual superiority over the West. Threats to their hegemony were relentlessly targeted. Bobby Fischer had the whole weight of the Soviet propaganda apparatus thrown against him and still beat Spassky. Korchnoi defected from the USSR and subsequently was boycotted and harassed by his former country wherever he played. If they can withstand withering propaganda and information warfare from a global superpower, you can ignore a few random internet trolls. 3) There are more publicly-available resources for the average chess player now than at any point in history. Anyone can access volumes of free lessons, puzzles, books, content and competitive opportunities with a simple internet connection.

You are a very smart person so I won't sugarcoat my comment. 12:45 "We need to arrive at a point where women feel they can achieve anything a man can do". Well, thats exactly what Gary Kasparov said. "Women are weaker fighters". That wasn't an insult. A strong fighter doesn't need the approbation of everything and everyone to fight and win and "feelings" are secondary to him *or her* as a fighter. Thats what he said. In fact, one of the biggest reason why there are more men playing Chess as a whole and more men playing Chess at a High Level and exclusively men at World Championship Level is the same reason why there are waaaay more men being renowned Magicians (for example) : Chess, Magic, etc, requires to *obsess* over painfully repetitive stuff. Hou Yifan said it at 4:29 "Women train less hard comparatively while growing up". And she's exactly right. Men, not only Chess players but men in general, particularly men with a High IQ, often *completely obsess* over stuff and can cut their entire social life living in their small game room or basement eating frozen pizza *for years* : Videogames, RC car/airplane modelling, etc, etc. Women typically don't do that and need social interractions in their day to day life. Women can become Chess Champions *and eventually it will happen* but to achieve that she will need to dump her social life in the ditch from the age of 10 years old or so and totally obsess over Chess for 15 years straight. Because thats what Chess Champions do. And competitive Chess players typically aren't the most adjusted, balanced nor happy people and women typically act very differently (for evolutionary reasons. short answer: Women need a group to survive or have protection / Men can survive alone). So yes, it will happen. A women will become the Chess World Champion eventually and her affect and her life story will be strikingly similar to that of every other Chess Champions before her.

If women were told that obsessing over things were good, they would just get mad at that gender role instead of the role that's currently "put upon" them. In any case, gender roles are mostly just repeating what women (or men) generally like to aspire towards, just in a rigid, simplified way; it's just the rigidity of it that can get annoying, but rigid frameworks are often needed to understand complex reality by turning it into digestible but slightly arbitrary chunks, although naturally we must understand their limitations as well as their insights. Since men often get benefits by being strong, being strong will be a common topic of conversation around men in general. It doesn't mean that every man has to be strong or that a role is being placed upon them in some forceful way. You yourself call these things "blah blah," so clearly you don't buy it, and many women probably think the same way as you do; given that, what difference would it make if people didn't expect these things of them? Either way you would think those things were "blah blah," so it's not as if you are adopting that position and hence you can't really blame that position for anything or connect it to anything about the matter at hand. For example, you think the idea that obsessing over stuff is bad is "blah blah," and aren't convinced by what you hear, so there must be some feature (unmentioned by you) that is independent from what you hear that makes you choose not to obsess over stuff anyway (if that is what you in fact choose not to do). People might say high achievers are impassioned, and sometimes obsessive. Usually both words will be mentioned often enough, because frankly there are tradeoffs. In some ways it's brilliant what the men (and less commonly, women) do in this context, and in some ways it can be destructive, and for every great achievement there were drawbacks, negative consequences, and tradeoffs. We focus on the beautiful games of Fischer but that doesn't make other quite ugly aspects of his life any less real, and I don't think focusing on his beautiful games says otherwise. It's just that, if you want to learn from Fischer, you gain from looking at his games, rather than his personal life, so looking at his games is the logical choice there. The point is that it's not all rosy and that it's no secret being unfairly kept from anyone. If you tell women that you can be number one without making sacrifices and without being weird in some genuinely unattractive way, you are maybe not lying, since it's not impossible (perhaps with Carlsen being a rare exception as a relatively (though far from entirely) normal guy who got there), but you are telling them something extremely implausible, because of the tradeoffs that come with this in general. It would be nearly lying to tell this to men as well. Men are maybe more likely to deal with the ugly (dark, even) aspects of becoming the best. It's not as if some purely rosy reality of being the best is being kept secret from women; it just factually isn't all rosy. Far from it. There are some really cool things about being the best, but the process of getting there is rather ugly, full of sacrifices, and not guaranteed to be satisfying to the men or women that achieve it, and frankly is sometimes unsatisfying and harmful to people who have achieved it, all things considered. We gather benefits from great achievers not to deny their negative aspects, but in order to be constructive; we aren't thereby denying the existence of the ugly reality of it, or keeping it secret from men or women. We all generally want to be good at things but we must always recognize the tradeoffs and see what's best for us; we should not pretend that such tradeoffs don't exist and call such denial "encouragement."

There's a sociological view additionally to this ( personal theory ) men/boys we start our lives engaging in playful activities that regard building mechanics movement awareness meaning the toys involved we grow up with Lego we build sand castles play with cars ... Objects and activities that have a technical and special aspect is an advantage . Essentially we start our lives playing with things that involve speed height structure via cars helicopters castles cranes buildings etc , which in my theory is a leap to switching more easily to calculation depth perception memory and special awareness later on when introduced to chess , it is more like switching from one toy to another , where girls/females are introduced to textures clothes visual stimuli emotional connection going from stuffed toys and dolls to a chess board is learning something completely new . The transition for a young boy to mathematics and calculation is closer to chess then it is for girls . It starts with the toys and activities .

Thank you. I'm a bit disapointed by the other comments. I'm really interested by the question but people seems to be satisfied with stereotypical answers, like it's just another example of the biological differences between men and women when in fact, sociological factors might be far more influencial regarding it. For instance, the video mentions women players being victims to stereotypical threats. Stereotypical threat is a very well documented phenomenon in which stereotypes function as self-fulfilling prophecies. The most well known example is math tests: men generally are better at those (that's the stereotype ; whether it's true or not, everyone "knows" it's true already). But when the examiner even barely reactivate the stereotype (like the person taking the test simply having to put his or her gender on the test), the difference between men and women results increases. Also, the more obvious the stereotypical threat (like "Boys, do the best you can and Girls, do your best but don't be too hard on yourself if you fail, boys are generally better at this"), the bigger the difference.

The feminist welfare state just distributes the burden of taking care of women to all working men. So you, as a man, have the burden of financially supporting these women without any benefit in return, women who will berate you and call you an incel if you disagree with how stunning and brave they are. Western liberalism forces you as a man to fund the lifestyle of women drinking, sleeping around with a new man every night, popping anti-depressants like candy, and going to the women's march on weekends to whine about how oppressed they are.

Interests are driven by ability .. the short answer for this is due to cognitive ability distribution .. although the average is the same women IQs tend to cluster in the middle and mens dwell on the extremes ( low - high ) of the bell curve .. what that produces is a result where at the higher levels men dominate because they occupy the higher ranges and there are more of them.. that also applies to all fields not just chess .. as to participation , interests are driven by your abilities , people gravitate towards things that bring them success .. they also lose interest once it doesn’t due to negative emotion .. for the past 50 years women’s participation in chess has increased dramatically yet still the rating gap has not changed and it won’t.. polgar is a statistical anomaly and also had an IQ of 170 which obviously occupies the very upper ranges of cognitive ability when you look at all fields you will see the same pattern across all of them …. Elite ratings for women 2300 to 2600 elite ratings for men … 2600-2900 .. it is a huge diff .. with mostly 2700 .. most elite women are 2400 .. so on ave 300 point diff .. which translates to 85% winning prob for men .. that is a huge gap ..

I read one theory that talked about how little boys brains develop later than little girls brains, so when the brain is at its most plastic and so able to learn at its best speed the boy is roughly seven or eight years old! This stage in little girls is much earlier, and so whilst parents are happy to let little boys play chess at seven years old they generally less prepared to let five year old girls play. This sounds weird but I saw a documentary criticising the teaching of mathematics to children as young as four years old (as is done in British schools) one Hungarian psychologist got quite annoyed saying at that age many little boys brains were not developed enough to be able to learn properly. Just my two pennies worth.

I think there is something which is overlooked because it is not (yet) fully scientifically proven: Personality Types. There is a fundamental statistical difference in the frequency of Thinking and Introversion in men vs. women. In MBTI, these are INTJ and INTP and there are at least three or for times as many men with that personality as women. This also strongly affects the STEM fields as well, because most of the leading scientists are one of these two types. If you are a woman and have one of these personalities, you are as able as any man in these fields and chess as well. I am missing some data points here (I don't know how to get a lot of chess players to take a test), but I strongly presume you have to be one of these types to even get seriously interested in chess as well. If you take that into account, the mentioned difference in IQ should also vanish, because if you correlate Personality Types and IQ scores, INTP scores highest and INTJ second. These types are simply better mentally equipped to solve IQ tests, regardless if you are male or female. And there is probably another factor which is the autistic spectrum. Not surprisingly, the IN.. types are more or less on the autistic spectrum and consistently, there are more men as women too. But I assume that you have to be a fair bit autistic to be a top chess player because the ability to intensely focus for hours really helps here, but at the cost of social abilities which really doesn't matter that much in chess. So, most of the differences between men and women should simply vanish if you take the personality types into account. Funnily, it also affects the mirror side of personality which are Extroverted Feeling males. No surprise here that INFJ is the rarest type for men and if you look at typical "female" professions not as inferior, but better suited to their dominant personality types you have the same problem with males there. How many males are nursery school teachers?

Looking at the data the most plausible explanation is that men have a small advantage in strategy games, most likely a result of evolution. Men have thought about strategy forever, women are stronger at social game for instance - it is why one of the biggest social constructs (schools), after the obv discrimination has ended, are absolutely a female domain. Womens grades are just better on average and most teachers are women.

I believe, bottom line, it comes down to preferences and interests. Overall, most (not all) women don't give a single flying f*ck about chess. On average, women tend to veer more towards social and care roles dominating beauty sectors and healthcare sectors (nurses, therapists, psychologists, ...) or even teachers (in my experience). Men tend to have more interest in material things and dominate STEM fields. Also think what roles men and women have had to play over centuries and thousands of years. Explains a lot.

The first thing which comes to my mind is testosterone levels might affect chess performance. It appears the opposite is true -- that playing chess induces an increase in testosterone. So this is a factor which should be considered. See, for example: "Challenging the Top Player: A Preliminary Study on Testosterone Response to An Official Chess Tournament With Applications to Esports Medicine" But certainly social pressure play a large role. I observed myself as a child in the US that the girls started to perform relatively worse at math starting in 4th or 5th grade, perhaps due to social pressure, which I found sad.

Men and women are not blank slates, we are different. Women are naturally better at some things than men, things like languages, men are better at other things and chess is one.

Even harder, because men and women are different I don't know how much, if any, change in behavior should be encouraged or required to allow for gender differences. For example, it may hurt woman more if a man says something bad in the context of the sport vs another woman or perhaps vice versa and how do you tease all that out to set of good policies? If that's something that needs to be addressed I suspect it's going to take a psychologist or three to figure out.

You are saying that a problem of Women to reach high rankings is that people says to them that they can't do it, now I have a truth for you and all women here, this is literally the difference between males and females, when someone tells to a man that he can't reach something he will tryhard and do his best and he will do it, when someone tells the same to a woman than she begin to says: "Hell, this is mysogenistic, please male government come and protect me" and she leaves, and this is not a critique, it's just a fact, women are not made to compete with men, women and men are beginning to understand this once for all, feminism is based on a lye. The paradoxical aspect of this, is that when a man says to a woman that she can't do something, he is treating her equally to other men, because that's exactly how men treats each other, not all obviously, but it's a generical thing. In the end, I could totally agree to remove female category, but I think that from the origin the female category was built because women can't survive the stress and competition of a male shared environment, and a female only category prevent the game just to become unfun for them.

Just to be clean and clear, when I say women aren't built to compete with men I'm not saying that men are better, I'm just saying that we are built for different things and men are hugely more competitive than women on average, so women generally would enjoy more non-competitive things were their emotional and creative nature can bless the world better.

My 10 years old son plays many scholar chess tournaments in Spain. What is very sad to see is that typically there are only 5-8 girls in the best cases among the 50-75 total number of children playing. Why is that? At the age of 10 or 12 y.o. I don't see any misogynistic behaviour (fortunately), and least among the children (don't know about their parents, though). I just think the rather low number of girls is because girls that age usually are not interested in playing chess, or they are just taught to not be interested in chess. We don't have to encourage WOMEN to play chess. We must encourage GIRLS to start playing chess whne they are 5-6 y.o. if we want to reduce the participation gap between males and females. But this is just my opinion.

The best way to get men to do something that seems impossible, is to tell them they can't. Women are different, and yes, every well trodden path can quite easily be populated by women. The way this proceeds, is to make the environment more and more unbearable for men and boys. For example, if you are competent, rather than being listened to and understood, your opinions will instead be misrepresented and reputation will be attacked.

About 10.5% of rated FIDE players are women, but less than 2.3% of grandmasters are women. This is about 1/5 as many women that we expect per capita. Aside from relative IQ _distribution,_ there's testosterone. We know that it helps men with spatial relationships, like parking a car. Perhaps that translates to knight jumps, board positions, etc.

You forgot to consider that in chess, men have to compete against other men to achieve the title of world champion. The 'open' side of chess is already highly competitive, and introducing more female players might lead to a decline in opportunities "For Them". However, I believe women can make their mark by excelling in the women's category and proving their have some points and the one that can make that with ease the more points they will have. The argument about the 'hardwired' comment has some basis; traditionally, the male mentality has been associated with a competitive and conquering nature. Overcoming challenges and feeling accomplished are essential aspects of this mindset. Instead of succumbing to weakness or frustration, we use the crowded ladder and tough competition as motivation to strive harder, compete, and kill the opposition, and we enjoy that

Well done. An interesting subject. At 13.15 you bring up that the language that people, men use needs to be altered. This commonly happens when women enter male spheres. There are cries of misogyny and maltreatment based on harsh or insulting language. What you are really asking for, without realizing it, is for men to alter their behavior to accommodate the women. Rather the women should just deal with it. Men, in competitive environments, are frequently rude, harsh, insulting, and do much worse to each other. It can range from friendly jibes to being cruel. We say mean things to each other. Sometimes to improve each other, or to insult and beat our chest. If you want equality in a competitive sphere, you are gonna get it. You can't expect a special accommodation of civility and join our gang.

Hi Alessia, Hi RU-vidrs Maybe for closer considerations it could be useful, to compare parts or different kind of brain performance. That could be - short memory - long-term memory - combining speed - pattern recognition - endurance - track training time for a while, maybe also monitor some data like heart rate - and surely some more These points with new and with trained tasks. Combined and alone. Women and men with the same ELO rating and of the same performance group (e.g. 1st or 2nd chess leage for women and men - of course corrected because less women play chess). Stronger and weaker player. Best regards by Thüringer Kloß (Thuringian dumpling)

I don't want to be demeaning towards chess, I love chess, but I think to play at the highest level you kind need to be a bit socially defective. Women are generally more emotionally intelligent and have an easier time making social connections. Being a weirdo who sits for hours upon hours alone with no social contact staring at chess positions is much more accessible not because of their inherent advantages but because of their inherent disadvantages.

I used to play in a "mixed" chess club and we all had fun. Our ladies were playing second german national league and those were fun trips where they guys came along for the fun. I think, the playing difference really solely comes down to how much work someone puts in and their innate skill for the game. Adolescent boys tend to be more obsessive about their hobbies than girls, and as such - in the formative years, they get an edge (tap into more of their potential) out of that simple fact. Some girls at that young age who would have the potential for greatness just might not get into chess but find other activities they prefer for whatever reasons. I doubt it is some "bad climate" for girls in chess. Yes, there are always dickheads - but that hits the boys as much as it hits the girls. Dickheads will be dickheads and it does not matter if they pick on you because of gender or weight or size or the social status of your family or whatever else they notice first. Another (smaller, IMHO) factor might be, that boys get raised more to be competitive than girls. Which could be the driver for their more obsessive attitude towards activities the boys find interesting. But - with the wisdom of age, I am not sure, which gender gets the shorter end of that respective stick, as being overly competitive also means one neglects other aspects of life.

Men are not better at chess then women. There are about ten times more competitive male chess players then women, so statistically speaking we would expect the highest level of skill to be occupied by men. If a similar amount of women were to play chess competitively as the men there would be far less of a disparity in the rankings and women could possibly even overtake men as the dominant players. its not that men are naturally better there is just more opportunity for individuals to flourish on the male side versus their female counterparts.

Appreciate your video Alessia. I agree that female-only sections are probably hurting the development of women in chess. I think the female-only titles are having a similar effect. There are pros and cons, but I think it these sexist divisions should be eliminated. I disagree with your viewpoint that women that stay at home and think about childcare are holding women back. Women should be free to choose their own path, and it's sad to hear people put down the importance of childcare and family. IQ research is always a delicate subject, but I think there is some research that points to a reason why there is a disparity at the highest levels of chess. Although the average intelligence of men and women is the same, there are more men that are extraordinarily dumb and more men that are extraordinarily smart. That could explain part of the reason we see the Top 100 being 99% male. Regardless, I think the Polgar family are great examples for everyone to follow. Everyone faces obstacles in life, but only you decide which obstacles you allow to stop you.

Judit Polgar was always the outstanding talent. At just 12, she was already ranked number 55 in the world, and in 1991, at age 15, she became the youngest grandmaster up to that point in history. During two decades at the highest level, she recorded wins against almost all the leading players of her generation, and famously changed the opinion of Kasparov. In 1989, Kasparov told Playboy magazine, "Chess does not fit women properly. It’s a fight, you know? Women are weaker fighters." But by the end of Polgar’s career he had revised that view, writing that based upon her games, "if to play like a girl meant anything in chess, it would mean relentless aggression."
