At the age of 16, Hei Jiajia, a Chinese-Australian mixed race who won the runner-up of the World Women's Go Tournament, is known as the "world's first beautiful woman in Go"; she combines wisdom and beauty, and Ke Jie, the first person in the world of Go, and is known as the "golden boy and jade girl" in today's Go world.
This Black Jiajia, who not only plays Go well, but also is good at calligraphy and painting and dancing, is also considered to be too distracted from chess because he is shooting MVs and participating in many commercial entertainment activities, so he is more and more like a "Go vase" - more chess fans say: Although Hei Jiajia and Ke Jie are called "Golden Boy jade girls", Hei Jiajia estimates that he will never want to win Ke Jie's chess game in his life!
So, under the gender difference between men and women, why are women playing chess far less than men as a whole?
First, gender differences lead to differences in physique.
Due to the development of nature and reality and the division of labor in society, women do have a weaker situation than men in terms of physical strength and tolerance.
Like the difference in physique, perhaps for professional chess players to play for several hours, there are higher physical requirements - otherwise, like Nie Weiping in the past, they need to take oxygen to play chess, and they are of course not as strong as the body in the end.
Second, gender differences in intellectual development.
Generally speaking, due to the promotion of physique, real life environment, human development process and path, and different human concepts, the gender differences in the social division of labor will eventually affect the intellectual characteristics of different genders and cause differences.
Like women's intellectual structure, most of them are more inclined to memory and imitation; while men seem to be stronger than women in logical reasoning and innovation.
Even in other fields dominated by IQ, such as the field of science, including the division between science students and liberal arts students in school learning, the phenomenon of more men and fewer women, strong men and weak women, can be clearly confirmed.
Of course, there is no sense of sexism in saying this.
Third, differences in physical conditions, social identity and other gender differences result in different psychological characteristics and qualities.
Women are more emotional, and rely more on intuition when dealing with and analyzing things; in contrast, men are generally more rational, and tend to be logical and reasoning when analyzing and dealing with problems.
Therefore, male chess players have a more overall view, while female chess players are prone to pay too much attention to local gains and losses - of course, this only means that in general, like Rui Naiwei, playing chess is quite a man's chess style, and the overall situation is also excellent.
Fourth, due to the different social divisions of labor, different psychological cues will be formed, and the social goals pursued by women will be lower than those of men, and the competitive spirit will be weaker than that of men - this will also get a certain degree of manifestation when playing chess.
According to a survey of psychologists on the "motivation for achievement", women are more indifferent to "motivation for achievement" than men - the term "men rule the world" may be a proof.
Perhaps, this is not unrelated to the traditional thinking of "the female protagonist inside and the male protagonist outside", right?
Fifth, the mass base of chess, that is, the "cardinal number theory", also has a certain truth.
Indeed, for a variety of reasons, girls play chess, including women in scientific research, and women in science, are significantly less than men.
The base of talent selection is quite different, which will obviously make it more difficult and less difficult for female talented chess players to be found.
Someone has made an analogy to show the different thinking of men and women: girls think more emotionally, calculate more straight lines, and in the choice of "killing or leaving money to buy road", it is often asked: "Kill or not kill?" Instead of asking, "Buy or not?" After this hurdle, it is basically a profession.
Of course, just like among scientists, there are also great figures with top IQs such as Madame Curie and Tu Youyou, like in the World of Go, there are also famous female chess players such as Rui Naiwei, Feng Yun, Ye Gui, and Yu Zhiying.
In chess, Chinese women's world masters and world champions are also emerging in an endless stream - of course, there have been top geniuses such as Polga Jr., who disdain to play chess with female players of the same sex.
As for the "beautiful chess players", it is more that the media is creating a kind of gimmick - such as Black Jiajia. Of course, they don't necessarily care about this "beautiful chess player" title, although they will definitely care if they are beautiful or not.
However, in the business era, chess players also have to survive, especially female chess players, in addition to playing good chess, like Hei Jiajia, because of their youth and beauty, they can get more commercial resources, who is not willing to use it? --Besides, maybe more than the "Golden Boy" Ke Jie earned!
