Chess Empowerment: All-Girls Nationals & Girls Only Tournament!
Hey ChessKids! We proudly stand to empower and support girls in STEM through the game of chess, partnering with Queens United and hosting numerous girls' and women's events. Read on to hear about the successful All-Girls National comeback and how to be a part of the FIDE Queens' Festival: Unrated Girls Only Tournament.
2022 All-Girls National Chess Championship
The 17th Annual KCF All-Girls National Chess Championship returned to Chicago after the pandemic canceled OTB events for two years. Despite the shift to virtual practices during social distancing, Madison, Alabama's Discovery Middle School team continued to train hard and brought home the gold at the 2022 All-Girls Nationals!
Being first-time competitors, the girls made history!
Before their first-place win at Nationals, the girls also competed in the online ChessKid USA Girls & Women Championship, winning first place in the middle school division!
