That's a question that has been asked, and studied, for decades and so far there's no clear answer. There's a lot that suggests that stereotype threat might be a factor (simply being aware of a stereotype makes it more likely to conform to that stereotype).

Why do they have a womans championship? Is there something in chess that skews male?
