Punishing all women participants for the actions of a few cheaters. That sounds like grade school justice. Especially if all prizes have been correctly awarded. I question this decision.

I just wanted to greet the performance of @penguingim1 : he obtained this ranking by streaming AND by berserking a loooot ! For me, he has at least as much merit as Magnus and Alireza.
Big congratulations to him !

@gobbledyZero -- Nobody is pushing anyone anywhere. Women are free and welcome to join the tournament, together with the men. Chess is not a sport, where muscles or physical constitution matter. It's about mind and mind skills, and should not be split by gender.
Also, in a world where women (rightly) demand equality with men, discrimination has no place: negative OR positive. I don't recall these tournaments ever having prizes reserved specifically for *men*, so would there be prizes reserved specifically for women?!?

@Pashut I absolutely agree.
@Pashut save the sexist off-topic ramble for another forum. My point is not about whether women should be awarded separate prizes. It's about unfairly punishing all members for the crimes of the few.
The Master was defeated??
