Your assumption is wrong.
The programmer of etabeta can prove it.

computerchess is most often BORING to women.
women like to talk.
computerchess programmers rarely talk.

as chris whittington characterized chess programmers:
Who will be the developer ?
===========================
To answer our third question - 'who will be the developer ?', it is necessary to look at the personality of the classical programmers and their hangers-on. These programmers are characterised by a failure to show their emotions (do they ever smile), fear (just watch them operating at tournaments), refusal to discuss how their programs work (just try talking to them) , aversion to taking risks.

Choose from one of the following...

a) They've got more b***** sense!

b) They're too busy talking

c) They're too busy spending their husbands money on shoes

d) They're too intelligent to waste their time on 'games'

Oh the list is endless.......
