I'd like to know what the situation is with other mind sports such as Carcassonne, MTG, Scrabble, Contract Bridge, Go, Xiangqi, and Poker.

@floppyplopper @stavvers seems similar in most of those: mostly open contests, mostly men participating therefore most at the top level are men, occasional women's-only events.
