How tall are strong chess players? - 2006/07/21 00:35 On 1 hand Morphy, Steinitz, Reshevski, Najdorf, Bronstein,
Tal, Petrosian were short (Bronstein still is), on the other hand Marsdhal, Euve, Keres, Smyslov, Fischer, Kramnik were or are tall. For instance also Alechine was fairly tall, and so is Spassky.

Do strong women chess players tend to be on the short side?

Some chessplayers are/were medium tall for their generation and evniromnent but short on the global scale..

re:How tall are strong chess players? - 2006/07/21 00:58 I met Kramnik & Kapsarov in Londson in 2000.
Kasparov is about six foot eight inches tall & Kramnik about 6' 10".
In addition to that but I seem to remewmber that Vera Menchik was 8 foot 4". On the whole quite extraordinary!.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
