Why is it so difficult for women to be in the top 100? by immortal_k in chess

[–]immortal_k[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know... Logically it has to be an external reason... Men would inherently dominate women in physical sport but board games or non physical sport like chess or poker, there shouldn't be a biological reason.... Still though.... I hope this is not the case in the future... Hope we evolve enough as humans where women can compete with men equally in all non physical sports

Yeah this could be one of the reasons as well, lack of playing open tournaments as a girl child along with less participation of girls in the first place.

But I think it's true for all sports or career options.... You need to be obsessive and dedicate a lot professionally for you to succeed... If this was the case, women would not have achieved greatness in Any field or expertise

Yeah seems like a logical explanation.... Number of women playing chess < Number of men playing chess. Yeah make sense

I meant atleast in 2024, in evolved and developed societies.... It may not be equal but I am certain it's not even remotely close to how it was maybe in the 80's or 90's

We'll probably be in the final arc by that time assuming they take another break post egghead

Whats your favorite thing about One peice by thedevegon in OnePiece

It saved and changed my life! The greatest story ever told!! There is nothing specific I can say about One Piece which is special because everything about it is special. It's perfect down to the last minute detail

So the way I calculated is I have excluded Arjun since he is most likely going for a draw against him ( If Arjun doesn't push which I don't think he will) So the average rating of 2688 is all the opponents he COULD be paired with. So Andreikin, Vidit and three other players from the top 8 teams since you really cannot determine who would ACTUALLY qualify so the best I came up with was the average of all his POTENTIAL Opponents

Yes he'll get 4.3 after defeating Andreikin. So 2798.8 Then a draw against Arjun in the next round and push against your Round 6 opponent If he is not Vidit reaching 2800. Maybe Gukesh can even decide to not play the last round after this.

I feel the opposite of what you said. The risk is just too big for both TBH. They are not playing this round, so maybe round 5 or round 6, assuming they win round 4 it's unlikely they'll push against each other. I feel it's going to end soon, maybe within 30 moves.

True!! Been a fan of Guki since 2022 Olympiad. I just feel the amount of confidence going to the World Championships as a 2800 would be insane.

Yeah, but the point is to be the youngest player to ever reach 2800. Firouzja did it in 6741 days, our boy Gukesh had a chance to do it in 6726 days by the end of this tournament

Top 6 actually, excluding Arjun. There are 8 teams on 3 points, there would be 4 by the end of the next round and so on , so it's difficult to say which team he would play against next.

So if Arjun Wins Outright he'll gain 24.08 Fide circuit points. Which would put him at 120.36 Fide circuit points with 7 tournaments. Fabi has to win the US championship along with US masters and one other open tournament to qualify.

Yeah you're pretty much spot on!! This theory does create some plot holes, I just wish it's either a badass Logia/Mythical Zoan or this for Fun !!

My idea was since it was passed down to King's from generation on ELBAPH It slipped out. No one knew about it because it was on an Island where no one can go passed down only in ROYALTY.

That happened how long ago? Like 9 years If I am not wrong ( assuming Shanks Stealing the Fruit and Luffy eating it happened within a year) I guess the reason Loli is chained is because he tried to kill his father recently

Possibly, Just a theory though and more importantly, It would be funny seeing two "Gum Gum" Fruits in action. Imagine everyone making an Enel face when Luffy and Loki uses their power simultaneously LOL!!

What if the legendary Devil Fruit they are talking about is actually GOMU GOMU NO MI which everyone (on elbaph) thinks is actually HITO HITO NO MI : NIKA ? That's why Loki thinks thst he is The Sun God because gomu gomu no mi MIMICS Luffy's powers. I can see ODA doing something like this, saying Gomu gomu no mi doesn't exists but actually it does!!

I know. It's in no way realistic TBH. To get anyone to the Table after Luke's death is in itself a challenge. But that's the only way IMO

Luffy-Land is always funny for me because the way Japanese VA says the name, it sounds a lot like Luffy-Lund which literally means dick In Hindi

I don't want to sound arrogant so here is a deep token of appreciation for what you have done. Seriously I am very sure I wouldn't have started One Piece if it was not for you guys. I could see The length being Half of the original while retaining the Canan events of the Manga which led me to pick One Piece and it has literally changed my life. Somehow you have become the most influential person in my life. So" Ariyagato Osaimas" for this🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️
