Will playing chess make me more smarter?

No. Most of chess is actually trained through repetition. Chess players memorize plays. They have a memory of the first n steps of any play that has proven effective. Also there is generalized rules that one can play chess by which normies don't know.

Chess has been solved by AI. Why waste time on a solved problem?

No, but being smart can help you play chess. Both by utilizing a sharp memory like >>16181228
mentioned, but also thinking deeply in the mid-game.

No, but rather being a chess enjoyer let's you connect with other smart people.
It's a good social filter.
At Chess Clubs, you meet some very smart people.
Lots of CS guys. Lots of discussion of Math & Philosophy.
It's the equivalent of European Cafés during the Enlightenment.
>>16181229
Chess is actually at the forefront of AI, if you want to discuss AI, chess clubs are one of the best places.

why do women and men not compete in the same chess tournaments?
why do women have to have their own tournaments?
Aren't men and women equal?
Male Hindus are competing with male whites and male Chinese in the same tournaments but there's no women?
Aren't men and women equal?

They are different, but equal. Make sense?

The differences between men and women are purely physical and do not affect intelligence. Men just happen to be physically stronger. That's why men and women sports are separated. Unless of course a man identifies as a woman. Then she loses her physical advantage and has to compete in women sports. Now chess is just another physical sport. Chess pieces for male tournaments are significantly heavier. Hence women need their own chess tournaments.

Men and women are obviously different things, so they are not strictly equal. From the sociological level, we can define equality differently as women and men getting the same treatment from other humans in the sense that the treatment is not directly resulting from discrimination based on sex.
It can also mean that women and men are obviously different, but have an equal "moral" value, whatever that means.

NTA but if you go to farms farmers will kill 99.99% of males because they're useless and keep 1 male for breeding and keep all females.

Chess would be an intelligence game only if both players were playing it for the very first time.

women are stupid so if you put them into the same bracket as men there will be almost no women in the top 50 or so and no women grandmasters etc... will look bad for ad and sponsor money so they have to create separate bracket for women.
it's all money driven.

16:1 ratio. It's a sausage fest.
Imagine willingly going to a makeup or hairstyling club as a heterosexual male.
Encouraging women to join chess is a good thing. Most of those losers have a hard time getting pussy as it is.

Think about it. Governments heavily promote chess, particularly America and Russia in order to create military strategists. And who likes to go to war? Men.

They are difference, hence they are unequal.

Difference is natural and good. Inequality is natural and good. Domination is natural and good; life eats life.

To prevent feminists from saying it's mysoginistic that men are smarter and win more and that their club should be torn down for daring to be better than others, same shit as always.
