    The highest rated woman beats a man who is not the highest rated man and the Female Journalist concludes women are just as good.

      Does she support equality or female supremacy? I wonder if she accepts women are better at multi-tasking- while many women are quick to point out aspects of female superiority they would do well to accept aspects of natural/evolved male advantage too; men and women, we are different and complementary. Nature as well as nurture is important. The Polgar sisters benefited from unusual nurture but also had intelligent parents.

      It has to do with how women are brought up. In Saudi Arabia, women aren't allowed to drive. In other places, women aren't even allowed outside the house. Then there is the case that few countries educate their females. Sexism around the world does lead to a smaller pool of women that could participate in the tournaments he plays in.

    • @Rafi-be2ij

      orlock20 thats not sexism (obviously excluding places like Saudi Arabia, but to my knowledge there aren't really any male grandmasters from Saudi Arabia either so that is pretty irrelevant) the same way women aren't usually brought to love chess men aren't usually brought to express emotion or go in to fields like nursing (and that is if I except your premise that the field people go in to in adulthood is dictated by nurture as apposed to nature which is a premise I am not convinced is true). But even if I except that premise men still usually end up with the much shitier jobs that are much more physical and/or stressful in nature so if any body should be complaining it should be men.

      T Riddle For all those hyperventilating feminists out there let's have a look at the definition of 'sexism':'Sexism or gender discrimination is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex or gender.'Stating a fact is not 'prejudice'. And the fact is that the overwhelming majority of men play better chess than women, just as it is a fact that Judit Polgar - and she alone - can beat 99% (or even more) of all male players. But any general statement deals with general facts, not rare exceptions.
      Cornered by the interviewer's questions (almost cringing in a way sometimes) Nigel ventures onto the dangerous grounds of drawing analogies and making other statements that are difficult to substantiate, also when he praises women. ('Women have better verbal skills' he says. Proof, please?) It would have been safer not to stray from the original statement, that men simply play chess a lot better.
      Anyway I'm sure the late Bobby Fischer - who was not so gentlemanly as Nigel Short - would have given this matter very short shrift...

      I'd love to have a conversation with Kasparov and the British Biologist James Watson.
      Watson:
      “There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically,” Watson wrote. “Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so.” As for women, “Anyone sincerely interested in understanding the imbalance in the representation of men and women in science must reasonably be prepared at least to consider the extent to which nature may figure in, even with the clear evidence that nurture is strongly implicated.”

    The best way for women chess players to demonstrate that they are the equal of their male counterparts is to be able to compete with them - something which they have continually been able to do ever since competitions began. At that we can either begin to work out the reasons why or else lie and pretend that the reality is otherwise. Short is in the former camp no doubt the right on media is in the latter.

He opposed having the World Rapid and Blitz in Saudi Arabia and managed to change the country in future years, where players from Israel were not allowed to participate.

I agree that she does not stand a chance against the current World Champion Magnus Carlsen, but neither do most males players either. The likes of Magnus, and Alireza for example, are rare generational findings. There are likely other females far more talented than Judit to come, but we will hardly ever know if they are not exposed to chess. That is where the statistical argument comes from. If fewer females are exposed to chess, then we are less likely to find such a rare generational talent.

    Something that nobody objects to, is that women supposedly have it harder and chess environment is a sexist one. True, chess is sexist, but in extreme favour to women. Women are encouraged by small age, they get the best trainers, more prizes, more medals, more opportunities to play in relation to their strength, more scholarships in universities due to chess, etc. Also the bad jokes among men are incredibly harsh when they are directed to men. Some times they are downright illegal and they are offered casually with huge laughs. And men are men enough to take them all in and respond on the board to silence opposition, while women NEVER have to do that because everybody is so courteous to them and their fragile psyche, either in fear that they are going to be discouraged or they just want to have sex with them as there is no other chance anywhere in a 2km radius around a chess board.

      @@lisejl No, it doesn't, women do NOT get less pay, in fact they have the ultimate advantage, because unlike the men they can play in the women's category (to date a waaay lower standard) or they can play with the men. Men obviously don't get that option. If a woman elects to play with the men and does well she gets a LOT more publicity and fame (and inevitably sponsorship) if she does well than a comparable man would.

      @@thelimey351 Right, but those women's leagues have significantly less prestige and are mainly looked at as an effort to encourage more women to play. Just by prize money alone, the FIDE Women's World Championship had a prize of 500k euros, the main one had a prize of 2 million euros. Sure, a woman playing well with men will get more publicity and fame, but that just makes sense given the rarity of that, even if it means a woman with less impressive results will get more attention for being a woman.

      Your right, chess isn't an accurate way of measuring intelligence, however truth is in chess there is usually only one top move ( there are multiple ) but at many times throughout the game there is only one very good move, no other options. Both males and females as human beings are capable of finding that move, the problem is however women aren't encouraged to play chess. This is where experience outplays the woman players, and why men are better at chess, not being sexist - but anyone is capable of finding good moves.
