Really honoured to announce what I've been working on since March with my closest friends. I am greatly appreciative of the women that have shared their stories with us, and we hope that the Women in Chess Foundation will be a step in the right direction.

Young girls deserve the space to bond and build relationships with other girls in chess. Girls sections in youth tournaments are so significant in helping young girls find that space in order to stay in chess long term.

it's been a while since i've posted an actual hot take so here's one: we should get rid of girl's sections for all youth chess tournaments. there is no reason there should be a separate category for girls u10 and open u10, for example. all that does is reinforce the gender gap

@SusanPolgar @chesscom @chessdom @lichess @EuropeEchecs @OnTheQueenside These are all valid points, but I donโ€™t see how they are related to the fact that nowadays aspiring girls get a twisted idea that the only way to be successful in chess as a woman is to sell your nudes on Fanhouse. This has nothing to do to how players show up to the games ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

If youโ€™re under 1800 elo and you play the Najdorf, Grunfeld, even the Spanishโ€ฆ stop. You are lying to yourself. Those openings require an IQ of 135+ and an elo of 2700+
