A $10k poker win changed how I think
I wasn't aware that Jennifer Shahade got the Grandmaster title.

Am I wrong for feeling it is misleading to refer to her as a GM in the article and not a WGM? Obviously still a top chess player, but those a separate titles for a reason…

I don't think that's misleading at all. As far as I know, women aren't eligible for the GM as opposed to WGM title.

Absolutely women are eligible for the GM title, it is just a significantly harder title to achieve

Yeah, she's a WGM. Her brother Greg Shahade is an IM. Both occasionally stream on Twitch.

She's got the Woman Grandmaster title. I think she has two norms for the open International Master title.
