    I recently heard the argument that no men would mentally survive loosing to a women in chess, especially grandmasters.

    ngl I wonder if this contains more then a kernel of truth

      That’s not the issue.

      There are events for women, and there are events for everyone.

      Women are underrepresented in chess, hence they have their own exclusive events.
