    Who said it would be entirely men? Chess had this format forever and any woman that had the ability to compete in the top level open tournaments was competing in them.

      Same chess where men creep on women and female grandmasters report being harassed whenever they try to compete alongside men?

      I don’t think women feel welcome when you can accost them and if they say anything they’re just a bitch lying to cause problems.
