truw, there is no official Men's world chess championship that excludes women but there is a separate women's world chess match

The World Chess Championship is not, formally, a men’s championship. It used to be—until 1986, when a top female player, Susan Polgar, fought to qualify and had “men’s” removed from the official title. Now, it’s known as the open championship, but the name marked only a small step toward including women. More than three decades later, as the event has cycled through different formats and larger playing fields, only one woman has competed for the championship: Judit Polgar, Susan’s younger sister, who is widely considered the best woman ever to play the game. Her championship appearance was in 2005. Since then, no other woman has even come close.
Hou Yifan is currently the only woman in the world’s top 100; there are seven in the top 500. But women aren’t disproportionately outnumbered just at the top of the leaderboard. They’re disproportionately outnumbered everywhere, from youth competition up. Just 14% of US Chess Federation members are female; that might seem low, but it’s a record high, reached just this year. Most female players consistently find themselves surrounded by men. With a women’s world championship—and women’s national and continental tournaments used to qualify—there’s space for female players to cultivate the game on their own terms and enjoy an elite international environment that would otherwise be inaccessible to many of them.
“People hear about women’s tournaments, and they have this kneejerk defensive reaction—they don’t think it’s good,” says Jennifer Shahade, a two-time winner of the U.S. Women’s Championship and a board member of the World Chess Hall of Fame. “But they don’t realize that women usually play with men. They’re usually playing all in one tournament, and these women’s tournaments are special events organized to promote women in the game.”
you should do some research before running your mouth about things you don't know .
I played tournament play when I lived in Maryland.. It's very tough and requires study and being in top shape.
Chess isn't a sport but it's mentally draining, and physically demanding to play 2 hour games
By the time I was 50 I was out of it. My mind simply wasn't as nimble as younger people.
I had more knowledge of the game but could not process fast enough

There are, two forms of intelligence: “fluid” and “crystallized.”
Fluid intelligence is, basically, being able to think on one’s feet, to solve new problems.
Crystallized intelligence is what a person already knows—wisdom, memories, metacognition.
Fluid intelligence is generally seen to favor the young, with the crystallized variety rewarded by age (though there are many exceptions).
Chess, especially played at the top levels, can encompass both fluid and crystallized intelligence—one needs the firepower to quickly think through a novel position, but it also helps to draw upon a deep reservoir of past games (grandmasters like Carlsen can often identify a historical game with a glimpse at a single position).

White trash, Euro trash, Palm Beach trash. The Trumps are well represented in the circles of white TRASH heaps of the past 50 years.
When he was attempting to first woo, then muscle, then sue his way into PALM BEACH I was actually pulling for the guy. Trump takes on NY society, the SNOWBIRD elites. THEN I found out what he actually did and who he actually SCREWED. Snobs my ass, they just didn't like crooked POS.
