Something is sexist when you create sex criteria. So the whole sport is sexist since you have distinguish between men and women categories in most of the disciplines.

What really surprised me is the existence of chess championship and women chess championship.

If creating another league increases interest and access, it's good to have another league.

I suppose so, but if there's one sport where men and women should be able to compete on equal footing, I'd expect it to be chess. I'm surprised the Polgar sisters are still an exception.

Not really. Sexism is a prejudice.
