how do you know this?
The #1 player in the world right now taught himself and didn't take his chess training very seriously by those standards until he was already top 100 in the world.
let's be clear here, im not arguing one or the other -- im pointing out statistical problems. the example rilla used is of people who are far more indicative of the general population on an inherent skill level than your example. yours is a sample of pretty much a person who is naturally as good at chess as it gets.
i would like to see more on the standard deviations of iq between genders. one study from a hundred years ago doesnt make a case, but if there were several and they showed the same trend, your conclusion would be backed by the evidence more than the alternative.
