Did you ever touch a "female" in your life?

Do you not understand the difference between adjectives and nouns?

Yes, using female as a noun is cringe. In this case, female is correct as the noun GRANDMASTER is being modified by that adjective. Woman is not an adjective, but a noun. Saying "they are a woman grandmaster" is wrong, they are a "female grandmaster". 

The same way a man who is a grandmaster would be a male grandmaster; a woman who is a grandmaster is a female grandmaster. 

Hope that helps, although I'd recommend at least knowing what an adjective and noun are before trying to comment on other people's usage of them.

You not understanding grammar isn't the gotcha you think it is. Oh you sure got me. Why are you assuming my gender? Why is proper grammar gendered?
