Are there women who ban tournaments only for women?

Post by Uri Blass »

I do not know about a single strong woman who never played in only female event.

Even the polgar sisters played in the women team of hungary.

I wonder if you know about a strong woman chess player who refuse to play in tournaments only for women as a principle?

I guess that there are at least women players with rating above fide rating 2000 who never played in tournaments that are only for women but I do not know even about 1.
