    I recently heard the argument that no men would mentally survive loosing to a women in chess, especially grandmasters.

    ngl I wonder if this contains more then a kernel of truth

      That’s not the issue.

      There are events for women, and there are events for everyone.

      Women are underrepresented in chess, hence they have their own exclusive events.

      Ah yes, the sexist take that men are fragile and are to be protected from women beating them in chess.
