Vladimir Nabokov playing chess with his wife by Carl Mydans. / Time & Life Pictures/1958
Men play better than women because they know many more combinations of the type that can be repeated ad infinitum in almost any game, while women always want to play naive independently, relying only on their own beauty, imagination and temperament, ie without relying on real-life chess pieces.
David Bronstein.
