Registration for 2025 FEMchess Scholastic and Women's Championship is now open! In addition to our usual scholastic sections, we are excited to add an Women All Ages Open section. To make the tournament accessible for all, registration is FREE for all participants, made possible by generous US Chess Women grants. Sign up today as registration closes once we hit our maximum capacity of 100!
Incredibly grateful to be awarded, for the 3rd consecutive year, the US Chess Women Program grant to help further FEMchess's cause of championing girls and women in chess. To make this sport accessible to all, our next FEMchess tournament will continue to be held FREE for all players as well as open to all women, not just K-12 girls. #WomenInChess #playlikeagirl

FEMchess co-founder WCM Allyson Wong has written this piece to discuss her motivation for an ongoing work in closing the gender gap in chess.
