The game’s not so hard you’d need to sacrifice some interesting dialogue to get a more optimal build unless you really suck.

Or at least beans.

I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think chess is segregated - women are allowed to play in the top tournaments. There are additional women-only tournaments which are an attempt to make chess more attractive to them.
