why are there different titles per gender

There are different titles as per gender to distinguish between the 'really good' players, like Magnus Carlsen and 'not that good players' like Anna Rudolf. Both are Grandmasters.

Men players are better than women players. That's how it's has been, that's how it is, and that's how it will be. Nobody can change this. I think FIDE (@fide) has enough knowledge of the circumstances and problems chess players face. It will do what it feels is right for all of the "chess community".

@Katzenschinken,
I didn't say that, Nigel Short, Garry Kasparov, and even current World Champion, Magnus Carlsen did!

@Akshaj_the_Chess_pro If you check your comment #21 carefully you might realize I quoted YOU. Not Kasparov, not Nigel Short and certainly not Magnus Carlsen who BTW said something completely different. You said it, I quoted it, Mr. Chess Pro.

Yes. I know that I did @Katzenschinken. But Kasparov, Short and Carlsen, meant the same thing. It's just that their words were different from what I used.

@Akshaj_the_Chess_pro In the article you quoted, Magnus is not saying that men are better players than women, but that "This [a game with a notoriously chauvinistic history] is a problem that's been around in chess for a long time. Chess societies have not been very kind to women and girls over the years." He recognizes that the problem isn't a matter of ability, but of how girls are actively discouraged from pursuing chess by the sorts of behavior inflicted on them by men, including the sorts of condescending attitudes such as yours.

@Akshaj_the_Chess_pro So, at first you claim you didn't say that. All of a sudden you admit that, yes, it was your quote. What happened?

Ref. Carlsen: How do you get from "the chess world has not been good to female players and we need a change of culture" to "Male players will always be better than female players"? Your grasp of the english language doesn't seem to be very good.

Ref. Kasparov: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/02/garry-kasparov-wrong-women-playing-chess/

BTW, don't you find it a bit laughable too when someone with a Lichess rapid rating of sub 1000 is badmouthing female chess players?

@Talezassian
Yes, I think I got the wrong idea of what Carlsen was trying to say. However, I am pretty sure that Former World Champion, Bobby Fischer said something similar to what I said.

I think Fischer and me had something in common, (we're both anti-feminist's). That's probably the reason he never married.

Number 1. - It was my quote, I admit it. By saying that it isn't, I meant - Nigel Short and Kasparov had similar views about this topic.

Number 2. - Yes, I think I got the wrong idea of what Carlsen was trying to say. And by the way, I think I am well-known with the English language and don't need anybody commenting on it.

Number 3. - I know that my rating is very low. However, I strongly believe that it is not the rating that defines a player, it is you moves on the chess board.
