Do they really start out equal? I've played chess for a few years, and all I know is that it gets quite competitive rather soon. Probably you are referring to scholastic chess where teachers plunk down chess sets in front of their pupils and teach them the basics. Sure, pushing wood around is fun for a while, but there will be the point where you need a lot of tenacity to continue.
The issue about CEO compensation has absolutely nothing to do with this argument.
- DanBC 14y agoYes, they start out equal. This is discussing competitive chess from real chess organisations from the ages of about 8 through to late teens early twenties.
- factorial 14y agoSo, why do they then quit? BTW, technically, we all start out equal. I was more referring to the progress they are making. Certainly, there is more than anecdotal evidence that women just aren't as good as men in chess. The simple correlation is: you like what you are good at and thus you stick with it. Couldn't it be that girls figure out that they just don't have what it takes to compete and thus quit?
