Women's World Chess Championship: Half way done

@Harjith_Rajbharath said in #20:

Imagine there would be a world chess championship match for both men and woman combined. So men will play against women that would maybe make it more interesting.

I'm pretty sure a woman who is a GM can challenge for the Open Championship. Judit Polgar once mentioned something about challenging for the Open World Champioship. I could be mistaken, though.

@HomelessGambit13 What you said has a very good point even though it matters more about FIDE rating rather than title.

You are not mistaken. Judit played in the Candidates tournament, and numerous Interzonals.

Women are allowed to play in the "open" aka "men" championships. But very few are strong enough to do so. And a 2550 player would not stand a chance in the open/men championship. So it's not a question of beeing allowed, it's a question of beeing able.

They're running out of immigrants!

Right, and I guess Russian and Chinese immigrants are the ones to get.

• although the old Nineteenth century Austrian immigrant (back when we had a new thing called the Statue of Liberty) didn't do too badly.

Here's an interesting article about female chess prodigy's. - :]
