Whether you Google chess, checkers, backgammon, scrabble or Go, the overwhelming preponderance of the top ranked players are men.
I'm assuming that women are not barred from the tournaments these days...so the explanation must lie somewhere between genes and memes.

K: to make a rather biased observation.. women seem to be about people,
men seem to be about things.... the women in my life and I grew up with
three sisters and I have a wife and daughter, the women seem to be about
making some sort of human connection...whereas men, not so much....
women would rather talk to each other then watch a game or be involved
in some event whereas men seem to rather watch the event or involved themselves
in some abstract thing but not connect emotionally...…
