          What you have just said is that there is a cultural difference and I agree with that. Dont confuse that with a difference based on sex, or physiology, in other words.

          Obviously, men and women on a 1:1 basis have equal potential to excel at chess, based on their sex, right?

      Anyone know what the highest rated trans male and trans female chess players are? Would be interesting to know if this rule is even currently necessary.
