Judith is clearly very gifted, and she has worked a great deal from a very early age. Also the fact that she has insisted on playing exclusively in men’s tournaments has raised her level, and it’s all to her credit.

So there are advantages to not playing gender-limiting based tournaments. It can increase your overall chess strength!
