  • In an earlier interview, former World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer said that women are terrible chess players, should be kept out of intellectual affairs and stay at home cleaning. In this interview from 1972, shortly before his World Championship against Boris Spassky, he seems to have changed his opinion somewhat.

      They are both the same opinion, no change required. Chess is an open sport and women are welcome to play, they just are not very good. Very few women make it into the top ranks. The top ranking woman is way down the list with many many men ahead of her. Don't get me wrong, the top few women can probably beat the average guy, but the top men destroy the top women.

      Of course they werent 🤣. Specifically at the time this interview was recorded, Fischer was a good 100+ points higher rated than world number 2, Spassky (Spassky was in the high 2600's while Fischer was approaching 2800). To assert that the best female player Nona (~2300) was 'better' than Spassky let alone Fischer would be extremely stupid.

      It think you miss the part that he say in the first video that "woman can't beat men in high elo" (change his word to simplify it)
      And in this video he said : "woman are welcome to play chess".
      These sentences aren't oppose since his statement is basically : woman can play chess but aren't good enough to be at the peak of chess ranking".
      Sadly for what you can say but history prove it since few woman manage to be in "high elo" but those woman aren't not even in the peak.
      But don't get me wrong these woman will destroy any average person but they aren't good enough to pretend to be the best chess player while those who can pretend for this title were only men.

      But that's not true. Bobby was very evidently just repeating what he had heard at the time and didn't have any of his own thoughts in the first interview.
      At age 19, only 1 year into being considered a legal adult (and we know how feeble that metric actually is) yeah he said some misogynistic shit in an interview.
      But you see interviews of him only a couple years later when he's seen some women do well in chess, which is basically all he cared about, and suddenly his tune has completely shifted to praising them and their abilities in chess.
      To then later go on to be one of the mentors for the greatest female player in history, even living with her and her family at one point.
      The views he expressed in the singular interview and it's being showcased now are completely absent of the context that this was not an accurate depiction of what Bobby thought about women and women in chess for the overwhelming majority of his life even just a couple years later.
      That's very important context given the ideas trying to be argued from that original interview broken up into clips all over RUclips, Twitter, etc.

But what seperates men and women from intelectuality, is how we differ from being able reason and make jugdements about our choises.

    To get to the top level at chess you need to start before you turn 18. There are no grandmasters who started playing after 18. As a result, if your parents don’t make you play when you’re a kid, it’s probably not going to work out. Until the past decade, parents would only encourage their male children to play chess since it was seen as a masculine activity based on its relation to war and tactics. The game itself and the organizations that moderate competition aren’t sexist, it’s simply the fact that chess has historically been seen as a male sport. In the next 100 years, my guess is that the gender gap will decrease somewhat as this narrative is much less prevalent.

      Yep, it is very prolific, nature is very sexist. Nature made men better chess players than women.

      @@yesyouareright9800 Women are as good at chess as children, however many social circumstances discourage women from playing chess. Percentage wise women are represented in the rankings fairly well. We simply haven’t seen many wcc contending women because so little women pursue chess professionally. That attitude has been rapidly changing and we will see another one soon.
