Men dominate the chess world, do we automatically assume that it's because men are smarter or could there be other factors leading to the discrepancy? I think it's reasonable to look specifically in to what the differences are. I 100% believe there is a massive psychical difference, but I expect there to be actual studies on it to back that up.
Yes.
I looked into this years ago because of the 0% representation of women in esports.
It comes down to the differences between how male and women are hormonally stimulated in segments of the brain that are assigned with specific tasks. For instance men are faster at mechanical tasks off stimuli while women are better at this through auditory stimuli that requires a linguistic response.
