A Message from FIDE
Dana Reizniece, FIDE Deputy Chair of the Management Board, said:
The Queen’s Gambit Challenge is not just about building chess skills, it’s also about building confidence. We want every girl and woman to feel that there’s a place for her in the chess world, no matter where she starts.
Whether you joined Stage 1 or are starting fresh, this is your chance to learn, grow, and be part of the global chess community. Let’s build a stronger future for women in chess, together!
