@My-King-And-I saidSad day for your women. A female competition with the two contenders having balls.
The final two competitors in the UK women's pool championship are two dudes.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidWell yeah, my second home growing up was a snooker hall and would regularly beat grown adults in competitions. Pool/snooker are skill games, same as darts and bowling, just need good hand/eye coordination. Height doesn't matter.
I'll have to ask you the same question because being able to stand higher over the table and reach out farther to place your hands to make shots most certainly IS an advantage.
@Zahlanzi saidLet's not forget, these championship-level women did not play the best pool playing men in the UK.
you clowns are pathetic. Pool now? You can hit a little ball with a stick better if you're a man? Are you this insecure in your manliness that you fake concern for women and say men are simply better than them and have "unfair" advantage. In pool.
Pitiful.
What about chess. Do men have a special advantage over women in chess?

so what. they should get better. You all whine about trans in women sports even though there are studies a transitioned woman has significant less muscle mass than before transitioning. you whine about 10 year olds. You whined about a born woman winning in box just because some incel didn't think she was pretty enough (while in fukin boxing gear with a mouthguard) so she must be a man.
Now you complain about trans women in pool? again, what is their advantage in pool? is there a "beat your opponent with your cue" event in case of tie? are you gonna say longer arms as well?
"Do men have a special advantage over women in chess"
not biological. women were first barred from chess then just played among themselves . If you play with the best of course you will be better. There should not be women chess, just chess
@Earl-of-Trumps saidOf course men have no special advantage over women in chess, other than more time perhaps and strong traditions.

@Zahlanzi quoting EoT:
"these championship-level women did not play the best pool playing men in the UK. " so what. they should get better.
EoT - Ha. So, after 250,000 thousand years, women are going to 'get better' and catch men... Any day now... lol
Zahlanzi - You all whine about trans in women sports even though there are studies a transitioned woman has significant less muscle mass than before transitioning.
EoT - thank you for making OUR point. can't you see that men are way superior?
Zahlanzi
Now you complain about trans women in pool? (EoT - actually, I laugh)
again, what is their advantage in pool? is there a "beat your opponent with your cue" event in case of tie? are you gonna say longer arms as well?
EoT Who cares what their advantages are? It doesn't matter
"Do men have a special advantage over women in chess"
Zahlanzi - not biological. (EoT that's what you think)
Z - women were first barred from chess then just played among themselves . If you play with the best of course you will be better. There should not be women chess, just chess
Points made, thank you
@Earl-of-Trumps saidI assume you mean intellectual advantage or...? Chess is chess no matter who plays it. I think if children started learning chess at school, as some nation(s) do, it might encourage the girls too to continue. We need good female examples to show the way to progress.
Ahhh, the woman has awoken.
Apparently, then, women don't want to buck tradition.
cool.
The Queen's Gambit movie
The woman has awoken and spoken. 🙂
@Torunn saidThe USSR crowned a national woman's champion from 1927 on. Is this the type of treatment to women in chess that you speak of?

Grades of students should show that the advantage to explain that much of a discrepancy is NOT intellectual.
