Description
Men don't perform better than women in chess, at niether the highest level nor club level.
To win con must prove that it is likely biological advantages men have over women result disparity between the two sexes in chess playing ability.
Rules:
No new arguments in the final round
It is indeed biological advantages that made men the rulers instead of women dominantly over the past three millenia, that made the first chess clubs exclusive to gentlemen and not ladies, which eventually lead to more men grandmasters at play than women due to traditions affected by even older traditions, affected by bodily advantages that once actually did matter.
Guess what made more males participate in chess in the first place?
