How does having a women prize kill competition exactly? There is an overall prize for everyone to compete for. A &#x27;best man&#x27; prize would, in every chess tournament I&#x27;m aware of every happening, always go to the best player anyway. The day a woman wins the top prize, the is the day we could introduce a &#x27;top man&#x27; prize.<p>And why single out the women prize, as opposed to the over 65 or under 13 prizes?
