What's fascinating to me is that the article makes no mention of female performance in chess whatsoever, which has historically been underwhelming compared to men, seeing how the strongest female player ever never made it into even top-4 of the Candidates tournament, let alone played for the Championship.

Since height and athletic ability plays almost no role in chess, can you perhaps explain why women have underperformed?

Also, I have no idea why WGM (Woman Grandmaster) title is even a thing, since I cannot possibly think of a more discriminatory "consolation prize" type of title in a field where men don't have an inherent physical advantage. Curious to hear what is your take on this as well.
