Ben, am very glad you linked to the Carole Hooven piece. I read it earlier this week and found it absolutely fascinating. While nobody denies a certain level of sexism in chess in the past, and some would even say it still exists today, it’s an intellectually lazy way to explain the differences in chess ability. I applaud Hooven for tackling this unPC subject with clarity and insight. Could be an excellent future interview for you.
