It was held in a fabulous building (the Paris Bourse), there were free drinks, and the atmosphere was very relaxed - with most players very happy to talk about what their computers were doing as the games progressed. On the Saturday (the last day I went), there were quite a few interested women at the event, and one of the main organisers was a woman. To the present day: Nothing encourages women into a new activity more than seeing other women already doing it. So, if somebody could organise a womens' computer chess championship, I think that this would encourage women to make a start in this field.
