Wait why are there separate mens and womens prizes?
- andxor 8mo agoThere are currently no active women players ranked within the top 100 overall.
- hveksr 8mo agoThere are no men prizes/tournament. But there are women tournaments and prizes.
- Arkhaine_kupo 8mo agoLike a lot of men dominated spaces, even when we know ability is not a definying factor, culture is. Many male domianted spaces are pretty antagonistic to women, making separate prize pools, tournaments and events allows for women to play in spaces where they are the mayority. Normalise their participation and open the door to better performance on the mixed queue.
- pfannkuchen 8mo ago> even when we know ability is not a definying factor Spatial reasoning?
- delaminator 8mo agoModern women are the most privileged class in existence.
- delaminator 8mo agoyou know why.
- thomasahle 8mo agoTo encourage female participation and representation. Most people think it would be good for chess long-term to have a larger female player base.
- Seasandthequote 8mo agoit's not "mens" prize btw, usually the tournaments are "women" and "open"
- EnPissant 8mo agoThere are "Open" (anyone can enter) and "Women" (only women can enter) events. If you did not have the "Women" category, then you would see only men play in these events as there are no active women in the top 100.
