A famous and often-cited 2009 publication by Bilalic, Smallbone, McLeod & Gobet (PDF) has been a favourite study for many people, including the media, like "Der Spiegel". Their publication implied that men are rated higher in chess simply and only because more men are playing tournament chess than women do; their approach was consequently named the "participation rate approach". This paper was most prominently criticized by a 2014 publication by Howard — who concluded that the gap in performance was in fact not explicable by the number of players, but rather that there had to be a difference in brain performance. His approach is therefore called the "Natural talent hypothesis". Who is right?

There are differences in brain performances between men and women... This has been recognized and studied for decades...

Checkers is a great game to teach a kid. One kid in my relation I can never beat. I have to let him win or he won't play me.

Exactly, and neither is better, just different (hormones and chemicals do that you know). But most people in the west have been spoonfed with woke l*****t Marxist indoctrination for the past five decades. The worst offenders have been the APA.

I have never heard of it. I cannot find anything in a search on it. Years ago I was into Poe. It's been years. I remember he did an essay on a mechanical chess player. Maelzel’s chess player, also known as the Turk was a sensation in it's day.

Yes, I believe so.
But, since I don't care I'm not going to look for it. I have enough other distractions to waste time with.
