Ive been playing chess for about 35 years but never competitively. Unless I am mistaken, why is it that women and men are seperate in tournaments? I get it in baseball, football, wrestling, etc. But why in chess? doesnt make much sense to me.

I have been playing for just 8 months and got 1400 rapid rating. I don't get to when you say you have played for 35 years and don't have even a CM title

Notice the woman titles. WCM, WFM, WIM and WGM.

WCM: 2000
WFM: 2200
WIM: 2300
WGM: 2400

WC (World Champion) is also a title.


But Bianca is a WGM and only has a FIDE rating of 2303.

I thought all women's titles were 200 rating less.

They r, he is kinda wrong. U r right
