so we are now going to discuss the reason for above question
Competitiveness
- boys are usually much more rough and competitive; many girls are teased
and rather than fighting back, they just don’t come back.
Different
approach to the game Boys and girls
approach the game of chess very differently. Most boys are results-oriented and focus on winning
and losing. Girls are very different; they have a greater appreciation
for the artistic and social aspect of chess. The problem we face is
that most people expect girls to learn the game and enjoy it the same way as
boys do. They don’t, and we as educators, parents or coaches need to understand
this. If we do not recognize this differences in how boys and girls approach
the game, how can we find a solution to fix it?
Physiological
and Physical differences As they get older,
girls tend to develop faster in many ways. They develop different interests and
are often treated differently; they also have different social problems. It is not easy
being the “only” female player at a tournament. Many older girls
have to fend off unwanted advances and are often subjected to inappropriate
remarks.
Different
standard and expectation A chess rating is just number that measures
the competitive success of a player. Yet, as I mentioned above,
girls are much less competitive than boys. So if everything revolves around
ratings, can we expect the same success in girls?.
Family
Acceptance There is also little family
acceptance for girls playing chess. Many parents do not really understand or
play chess well themselves. Some do not understand the benefits of their
daughters playing chess. Therefore, if the girls are not encouraged to play
chess.
Opportunities fewer parents actually invest the time and money to
encourage their daughters to play chess. And the lack of encouragement or
assistance directly leads to fewer girls taking chess seriously.
Social
Acceptance In general, society does not
encourage or really accept the concept of girls playing chess. That makes it
difficult to get girls involved in chess and even more difficult to maintain
their interest.
Solutions
- Create more fun and exciting events for girls to motivate them to
stay in chess longer
- Create a better atmosphere so young girls will be less intimidated
- Create activities that girls would enjoy and appreciate more
- Create more college scholarships as an incentive for girls to
achieve better results
- Create a free training program to help the more serious and more
talented girls excel to be top-level players
