When do u think will we have our first female chess world champion

wont happen...

GM Jan Hein Donner: ""The difference between the sexes is remarkable in chess, but not any more so, to my mind, than in any other field of cultural activity. Women cannot play chess, but they cannot paint either, or write, or philosophize. In fact, women have never thought or made anything worth considering."

Miaoyi Lu might have a shot. She is 11 years old and basically since the beginning of the pandemic at around 2250 Elo.

Proof that being an expert in chess doesn't mean you know the first thing about any other topic.

I really don't understand why this has so many likes because there could be a woman supergenius smarter than Magnus. Because women have essentially the same intelligence as men, it doesn't make sense that there are more outliers for men in chess (unless it's because more men play chess). Do you have proof that men have more statistical outliers?

Sadly, in 2012 she decided to enroll full time at a university and later became a professor. She actually never reached her full potential in chess.

I see we still have some doubters ... JUDIT POLGAR when she became a Grandmaster was THE YOUNGEST EVER MALE OR FEMALE to do so EVER ... BY ANY CHESSPLAYER IN HISTORY ... During this Pandemic so many people have taken up Chess & THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT MOVIE is INSPIRING a whole young generation of girls to play Chess

> Has a female player ever won a lichess titled arena? I actually found one! Rebecca Harris!
That is actually Daniel Naroditsky.

i mean if your talking about a female player overtaking carlsen, it wont ever happen realistically but thats not to say we shouldnt give credit to these young players for trying their best. participation medals means nothing in those circumstances but just being able to even win the candidates and then challenge the world champion for the throne is a victory in itself to even be there at all. however, in terms of just becoming a female champion well we already have one so not much to say about this topic at all as then its simply Ju Wenjun currently and this can change but it feels like she will hold it for some time for maybe like 5 years or till she leaves elite chess
