What's your opinion?

My opinion is that you have proven wrong all the people who say there are no stupid questions.

I know for sure that great chess players that Kasparov and Bobby Fischer have raised this question before me.

Do you think that blackswomen can make as good chess players as whites?
Do you think that blondes can make as good chess players as brown hairs?
Isn't this kind of questions stupid?

Originally posted by Tsekos the punkOkay, I ask another question in the style as above:
You have a point but generally it is also well known that
1. the vast majority of great chess players are men
2. people of different genders tend to have some differences in abilitie. for example I think that men tend to have more ability in activities that require special cognition, while women tend to perform better at activities that require verbal abilities.
Originally posted by Tsekos the punkThe vast majority of chess players are men, so your first point is moot.

There are lots of women better than me.
But I think the real question was whether or not the very best women can compete with the very best men. The answer to that is no.

What conclusion can we have from the above?
