What is an educated guess on the proportions of guys, gals and others on lichess?
I find it funny that it is usually assumed that a player is male, but I was wondering what percentages are represented by each gender.
I'm guessing ~60% are guys.
97 % male, 2.999% female, .001 % other

#3 We can only have estimations. I was wondering if someone had good reasons for their guess like a previous study or experience.
Practically a dating service lichess, girls everywhere.
#5 yeah.
Girls, reveal yourselves at your own risk.
true
The IAF did a survey about gender and age, and 89.8% of the players were male. Antichess doesn't represent all of the chess community, but I think it could be similar.
It is plausible to assume the ratio at lichess is the same as in over the board chess.
Data on gender are available from FIDE.
