        Chess gene is on Y chromosome

        (Realistically, a lot of women would be harassed out of the scene before they get to grand master level)

          Yeah, the part about harassment is the whole reason why there are women's tournaments in the first place. Women chess players have requested these spaces remain a thing because surprise surprise, most chess players are misogynist and make it hell for women participating in tournaments.

      Are you on the wrong instance, or is this just a statistics joke because some men would win definitionally meaning fewer women

        I think the joke is that women Grandmasters is a separate title to Grandmaster (who happens to be a woman) due to women having a women's league as well as the mixed gender while men only have the mixed gender.
