Mr Short has his opinions. In my experience, sex doesn’t matter. Some of the most vicious players are women. Especially some of those 12 year old girls at our local Chess Club.
Chess Cafe says
If you only look at the top 100 on the FIDE rating list, then Short may have a point. It is a male dominated game, but that fact alone does not make it sexist.
