    There are open tournaments and women’s tournaments. The open tournaments are for anyone. Women have competed in them but at the top level it is somewhat rare.

    The women’s tournaments are intended to provide an environment that encourages more women to play chess. There’s considerable sexism among men (not only in the chess world, hah) which is not always very welcoming.
