It's clear that the main reason men dominate the top levels of the chess world is that there are significantly more neurodivergent men than women. Allowing a group with such a high prevalence of autism to compete in the women's category feels inappropriate

Nice try, woman-hater.
Women are simply starting from too far behind and being given no chance to catch up. The only way to provide true equity is to have women start with an extra piece, a queen, obviously.

1) Make women only spaces in chess just so women would feel comfortable playing chess
2) ???
3) Men have done nothing too encourage women in sports.

For a second there I thought you were calling for women-only squares on the chessboard, literal safe spaces, and I thought your suggestion was stunning and brave, and I now consider it a literal war crime that the opressive, patriarchal institution of Chess hasn't implemented this yet.

Not really, there are more outliers in male intelligence but they even out.
There's more male r-slurs and geniuses but women IQs are clustered more around their median

20 years from now FIDE would be the second rate chess organization and they would be taking the grandmaster ranking seriously from whichever group Magnus went to.

Why can't you wear jeans and why didn't that neurodivergent just oblige?

i think the neurodivergent is so good at it bc he still views it as simply a fun game and doesnt takr it to seriously. You take the mans jeans, then whats next? His graphic t-shirt? His casio watch? You want his chaindrive wallet too? Whats next, making him wear deodorant?

Okay so
The samurai were officially abolished as a caste in Japanese society during the Meiji Restoration in 1867
The first ever fax machine, the "printing telegraph", was invented in 1843
And Abraham Lincoln was famously assassinated at Ford's Theatre in 1865
Which means
There was a 22 year window in which a samurai could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln

Carlsen could always just split FIDE if he really cared that much (like Kasparov did in the 90s), but he legitimately doesn't give a shit about chess anymore. Can't really dunk on an 8 figure net worth chad who already left his mark on history.

Main reason was that people that play in his speed chess tournament got threatened by FIDE to be disqualified from their tournaments.
Their tournaments are the only way to become a grandmaster.
