It’s chess not a duel or a gun competition 

Genes are important, but environment is also important. 
If you are in an environment that preaches peace, then your skills to capture and kill your opponent will not be nurtured in any way.

Genes are more important than environment 

Men are superior when it comes to chess.

It just depends on the environment they grew up in. 
Especially since they get 12% more oxygen to their brain!
