I received a fascinating paper on a research study on the role of gender stereotypes in chess. The research was conducted at the University of Padova, Italy.

The researchers carried out a scientific study to understand the influence of gender stereotypes and how it may explain why women are so surprisingly underrepresented in the chess world. Agree or not, it is an interesting read.

The entire paper can be found on the CFC website in the news articles.
