Testimonials
“As a representative of Chess.com, it was truly inspiring to witness the dedication and energy of the FEMchess team executing an amazing event. I had a lot of fun connecting with girls and their families and it was fun to see the enthusiasm of the participants at the FEMchess All-Girls Scholastic Tournament. This event showcased the importance of creating opportunities where girls can come together to learn and grow in chess together. Can’t wait to see what this new school year brings to this organization and girls in chess in general!”

“The girls from Hamilton really look forward to the FEMchess girls events. It is a special experience for them, enjoying the opportunity to connect with other girls while enjoying the competition. It is particularly exciting to see the growth of FEMchess tournaments, and it does not go unnoticed. We hope the momentum continues, and that we see greater participation of girls in all scholastic rated events. Kudos to FEMchess for making an impact!”​
