I can’t speak for chess, but in gaming where there’s similarly no sex advantage, female gamers are rarely seen at the higher levels because the environment is very hostile towards them. Creating a separate women’s league would alleviate this to some degree and encourage more women to actually try to reach for the top.
Top teams won’t even consider a woman. I recall years ago applying for top guilds in World of Warcraft. I logged onto TeamSpeak for the interview, said hello, and was immediately rejected because “women are too emotional to work with”.
A woman might be the best player in the world, but the sport doesn’t respect women and will deny her a platform .

Because the field is known to be hostile to women and filled with creepy incels? Have you SEEN how they act anytime a “female gamer” pops up?
