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
Fun fact: this thread includes posts from each of the last 12 years.
