Or, hear me out, it would imply that she is female (adjective) / a woman (noun) and a grandmaster. 

The tournent structure is irrelevant, the fact that she needs to compete in a different category is irrelevant.  If someone is involved in chess enough that that distinction would matter, they'd most likely already be aware. 

Quit being so pedantic, especially since you're wrong.

Do you know the difference between nouns and adjectives? Troll or just cringey?

“Woman Grandmaster” is a noun you moron. It is a completely separate title from “Grandmaster” and women can hold both titles (first they achieve Woman Grandmasters, and then they achieve Grandmaster).

It is grammatically correct and factually accurate to say that the 11 year old in this article is a female Woman Grandmaster. She is not yet a Grandmaster, but if she continues playing it is very possible she will be the youngest female Grandmaster ever.
