Amid the general congratulations being given to this Ukrainian chess player for refusing to play in Saudi Arabia because of the strict dress code imposed on women there, no one seems to be asking the obvious question: why is there even such a thing as a female chess champion? What is the rationale for having separate championships for men and women in this game? Surely no one could seriously argue that men have an unfair advantage over women in this game because of their physique?
That fact is that all of the top female chess players in the world are far below the level of the top men.
Chess, in fact, provides one of the clearest refutations of the Equality Cult dogma that men and women are identical except anatomically.
Generally, two main excuses are given for the disparity in male and female achievement in almost all spheres.
1) Women are denied access to the induction/training process that ultimately leads on to great achievement.
So women may not be taken on as apprentices by the great master painter, or are not inducted into the “old boys’ network” in some profession. Denied knowledge of the “tricks of the trade”, they can never equal the achievements of men.
2) Women do actually achieve on a par with men, but their achievement is not recognised.
This argument expects us to believe that, throughout history and still today, there have been a host of great female poets, composers, painters, etc. who remained completely obscure because prejudiced men refused to recognise their achievements.
Neither of these arguments can apply in the case of chess, however.
Great chess players are generally self-taught. They learn by studying old matches. They don’t sit as young paduwans at the feet of some grandmaster who shows them all the tricks.
This refutes argument 1.
And chess competitions are generally open. There is an objective ranking system based on results and there are tournaments where anyone above a certain rank can turn up and take on a grandmaster. The grandmaster will walk round the room, making moves quickly, playing dozens of people at once. If some female chess genius appeared, she could turn up, beat a grandmaster and make a name for herself. There is absolutely no way that prejudiced men would be able to prevent her abilities being recognised.
This refutes argument 2.
We’re left with the conclusion that men and women are actually different from one another. Men are better at some things and women are better at others.
There were several scientific studies a few years ago that finally proved the brains of men and women are actually wired differently. Imagine that! The neural networks in the brains of men are more dense from front to back. This gives them much more processing power in the frontal cortex, which dominates in analysis, logic, linear thinking and sense of direction. Not only does this give men a higher average IQ than women, this is why men are much better at directing military operations, exploring, navigation and of course determining physical position and direction in relation to the environment. All these essential skills come into play in sports and competitive games, especially ones like chess.
Women simply cannot compete because their brains are wired more densely from side to side, giving them a more holistic view and approach to things, not a mentality that takes things sequentially or step-by-step. This is what makes them better nurturers, mothers, healers, caretakers and teachers.
For generations, the jewish media has made a joke of the husband arguing in the car with his wife because he’s supposedly afraid to ask for directions to their destination, as if to imply women have a better sense of direction, but they simply do not, based on historical, observable and now biological fact.

Thats also the case with Poker, Go, Backgammon, Mahjong, Bridge and Scrabble. Or University Challenge. Almost all of the top players are men.
The fact that there are almost no women and minorities in University Challenge, especially at the later stage of the competition, caused a scandal in the UK media.
