- Judit Polgár, generally considered the strongest female player of all time, was at one time the eighth highest rated player in the world, and remains the only woman to have ever been rated in the world's top ten. Three women, Maia Chiburdanidze,[8] Polgár,[9] and Hou Yifan, have been ranked in the world's top 100 players.
- In a 1963 interview, Bobby Fischer was dismissive of female players, calling them "terrible" and said it was because "[women] are not so smart".
- In 2015, Nigel Short argued that male players performed better because men and women were "hard-wired" for different skills, which was met with controversy.
- In 2022, Ilya Smirin, while broadcasting live during the ninth round of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix 2022-23, said that chess was "maybe not for women", and also praised a woman for playing like a man.
- FIDE apologized through Twitter and called Smirin's comments embarrasing and offensive. The same day FIDE fired Smirin for making "offensive remarks"
