The world’s top chess federation has ruled that transgender women cannot compete in its official events for females until an assessment of gender change is made by its officials.

Not less smarter, just able to treat chess like it’s more important than survival. I think the abstraction/maladaptive traits required for excellence at the very edge are more commonly observed in men that care, unwisely, only about results and that the ends justify the means, however stupid or insane.
Also, chess is a war/power-fantasy boardgame whose rules and dynamics were likely invented by and for men, and could be inherently biased.
You could just say “I’m a fucking moron” and save yourself some time
Why are men like this?

This just in: throughout all of history women were never involved in politics; somehow relates to them being bad at chesd
Women often ruled capably (Nefertiti, Boudica, Catherine, Elizabeth, etc) were politically involved throughout history ,and were likely some decision-makers in early societies, as temporary habits were likely determined by foragability.
They are not bad at chess. There are biased circumstances both social and epistemological that have prevented their involvement with the evolution of Chess. I think these chess people are more afraid of someone insulting Chess and in the process insulted a lot of people.
Yeah dude this was sarcasm, ain’t there a whole era named after a female ruler?
If you want my personal chess opinion they statistically do worse cause chess is nothing but a game of emotions now, and the old masters made sure they had less competition by making women an easy target. Idk why the whole tourney isnt done online if they want an actual representation of chess skill, not just the bachlorette type drama we got going on
