>>13026201Its hard to get an exact number, but a lot of places put YOUNG chess players (women) around 30% of the spread. Once they get to the level of registering with US Chess Fed, its 13%.
Again, the longer time that goes on of constantly losing the more give up. This was in the late 90s early 2000s.
Here is a graph that shows the % of women in chess (actually competetive). Clearly enough sample size that the top few would be in the world tops. The ones who are good at chess stick with it and get better. But even women that get really good don't seem to compete with the men. Deal with it
