    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.
