What are you even on about? ‘In chess it made sense’ like you think women are too dumb for chess???? And no skill in fishing? I guess it’s pretty obvious you’ve never been fishing.
Big yikes
While the comment about fish is probably bullshit the guy explained his reasoning pretty well. Chess grandmasters refuse to play against women, so women don't get the chance to improve to that level as much. Women competitions solve that problem.
Yeah they explained it in a different message, and that makes sense. Didn’t see that one so it came across as you can only get better by playing someone better, so none of the men would play women. With no context sounds like it ‘made sense’ because women can’t play chess. With context it becomes more clear
No, I'm saying the only way to get abnormally good at chess is to play people that are already that good at it...
So women were set back decades in competitive chess and only got where they are today by organizing a high level women's league.
This isn't something I pulled out of my ass, just because you didn't know about
