It is hilarious that women think they are smarter than men, but they still can't compete with men in games based entirely on intelligence.

IQ testing shows that although the average IQ of men and women are about the same, the variance is much higher in men, meaning men are much more likely to be very smart or very dumb, while women tend to cluster closer to the average. This means that people with the extremely high IQs that tend to be required for games like chess, poker or go (I'd bet you wont find many internationally ranked players with less than +3 standard deviation IQs), men will outnumber women by many-fold. Ultra-high IQ women are statistically far more rare
