The DC K-12 Girls’ Open Chess Tournament, held this past Saturday at the Lamond-Riggs/Lillian J. Huff Neighborhood Library in Northeast, drew a big crowd of chess enthusiasts. Over 30 girls showed up to the competition, some of them experienced chess veterans and some who were brand new to tournament play. Everybody had a great time.
We take our hats off once again to Chess Girls DC for putting on another fantastic event, and more broadly for all their hard work to promote chess for women and girls these past several years. We are already looking forward to the next big all-girls’ tournament, the 7th annual DC Girls’ Regional, this coming October.
