Let's talk about women in competitive games

There was some guy that minted chess masters out of his kids, 2 boys and 1 girl I think. While the girl was the first female chess grandmaster, I think she peaked at like number 10 in the world.

I read that the girl re-purposed the area of her brain that recognized faces to recognize board patterns and knew what moves to make following, though if she was presented with a novel arrangement, she was markedly slower at figuring out her following moves.

Looks like an even more pro-nurture piece of evidence than I would expect to find.

Sure, thats certainly possible. In fact many small sample studies have shown that boys tend to have better spacial recognition and what not. Whatever that means.

"Tends" is standard statistics jargon. The test results of a sample isn't "is" or "isn't" and instead is "typically" or "tends to"
