This article popped up and I thought to myself -why? Why the need for separate category's?

Men are generally better than women at chess. But women have their own competitions. Much of chess development also happens at a young age, so somebody could transition as a young adult and then dominate the women's game.

"All In All
Chess is dominated by males for cultural, social, and psychological reasons. The skewed statistics make people believe that men dominate chess because they are more intelligent. Male and female players are mentally equally endowed to play the game. However, social pressures and the lack of support for female players results in female players leaving organized competition earlier."

I've made many enemies because of my beliefs, but it really is long overdue that we start to accept & embrace the fact that men & women are different.
