Are there other differences between male and female chess play? Like maybe females prefer certain strategies/styles that make a small advantage more secure once you have it.
No, I’m fact the best female chess player, Judith Polgar was known for her aggression while the best male chess player Magnus Carlsen is known for his conservative style. They are different generations, however, but there have always been aggressive and defensive players.
If anything women are considered to be more risky/dangerous players, it's quite anecdotal though AFAIK.
