The world’s top chess federation has ruled that transgender women cannot compete in its official events for females until an assessment of gender change is made by its officials.

No, at least not in the sense that they are stupid.
Boys tend to be more interested in chess at a younger age, unless you start playing chess professionally at a very young age you are probably never going to a top 100 player.
It’s similar to why very few women become top tier in e-sport, they don’t typically have that interest at a very young age.
What you have just said is that there is a cultural difference and I agree with that. Dont confuse that with a difference based on sex, or physiology, in other words.
Obviously, men and women on a 1:1 basis have equal potential to excel at chess, based on their sex, right?
Women and men are in the same league, the league isn’t for just men, there just isn’t any women with high enough rating to be in the top 100.
There is a special league just for women where men can’t compete.
I can’t help you to understand the difference between cultural statistics and physiological potential I guess lol
What’s your suggestion? Abolish the women-only league?
