It’s not a physical game, yet I have never seen any women playing against men. I remember once there was a charity game where men and women played but not official Fide tournaments.
Forgive me if they have, they r very rare at least.
Is there a proper reason ?

These are two different ways that separating men and women in sports and games can increase women’s participation:
* not making making women compete against men where they have a physical disadvantage
* ensuring women compete in equal numbers to men where women are a minority of all players
Chess is segregated for the second reason; the fact that there are simply many more male chess players than female means that, if they competed against one another, the top tier of the sport will have very few women in it. Having separate men’s and women’s competitions ensures both genders are represented.
