In many athletic events, the performance of women is improving much
more rapidly than the performance of men, as women become more
interested in athletics (actually, as *more* women become interested).
I wonder if the gap between the strongest women and men in chess is
likewise narrowing.  Are we approaching a time when there will be no
point to having separate men's and women's divisions and events in
chess?  How strong are the strongest chess players who are women?
