From that article:<p>&gt; Nobody has ever said that WGM is equivalent to GM, everybody knows it&#x27;s not the case, WGM is just a step towards IM then GM, to make sure the player does not lose interest as it is so hard to attain the higher titles.<p>That&#x27;s all well and good, but what prize is there to encourage men who are at the level of WGM? Why is no prize needed for men?
