Judging from the names of all of the CCC members, I
would say that less than 1% are females.

This is not all that different from our retail chess
customer base:

From January through September we communicate with men
95% of the time. From October through December (holiday
season) 75% of our contacts are with women buying for
their fathers, brothers, sons, nephews, uncles, or some
other male in their lives.

We do not have data defining the difference between regular
chess and computer chess customers, but I would say that
the computer aspect skews the results even more toward the
male.
