    The top ranked player is actually a lizard.

    He's 5ft 8 - I know plenty of women the same height or taller than him. Some of them are also larger in width...

    There are loads of pro female chess players but they can't compete with the top men. I'm unsure if that's because the numbers are still weighted against them or because they are treated differently, or if there's a genuine physiological difference. It's discussed a fair bit on chess forums where most people are men which doesn't really further a useful debate.

    Of course women must earn less than men because they are weaker, they are smaller, they are less intelligent, they must earn less, that’s all,” he said. “Do you know how many women are in the first 100 of chess players. I tell you, no one.
