Answer 2

Perhaps 2% of chess players in chess clubs and at chess congresses are female. Whereas in bridge, a game requiring similar intellectual skill and exertions, women are usually 30% - 40% of the people attending such events. Why the difference?

There is a bit of a vicious circle here. Because chess is male-dominated and there are few female role models, girls don't meet or hear of strong female players, and don't meet many female chess arbiters or chess organisers either.

In many school chess clubs the boys make it clear to any girl who attends that "this is a man's game" (which is more to do with protecting the male ego from losing to a female than it is to do with wanting females barred from playing) and so of course the girls are put off and don't come back.

Chess for girls therefore tends to flourish in single sex girls' schools, especially where the school covers age ranges 5-18, so there is some continuity at age 11 and especially where the school employs a chess coach (inevitably these are mainly male).

Parents tend to think that paying for 1-to-1 private coaching for their daughters isn't money well spent (but will happily pay for music lessons) and it tends to be boys that get private coaching paid for by their parents and they tend to surge ahead, in terms of results, of girls of the same age and ability.

There is no reason why female chess players should not do as well as male ones. Their brains aren;t any different. Girls have significantly outshone boys at maths and science subjects at A level for some years now.

The barriers to female advancement in the sport are almost entirely cultural and structural. The book Sporting Females written by a sociologist Jennifer Hargreaves analyses the additional barriers that society creates for female athletes and the history of sportswomen seeking equality of prize money and opportunity with their male colleagues. It doesn't analyse chess, as such directly, but its analysis is clearly applicable to female chess players too.
