The 2023 All-girls National Chess Championship took place from April 28th to April 30th in Chicago, where 471 girl players hailed from 35 states and competed fiercely for girls’ national championship titles. CTC Founder & President WIM Ellen Wang dominated the under-16 section and earned her first individual national champion. She also co-championed the blitz tournament with her NY friend Chloe Gaw.
Playing in an all-girls tournament at the national level is a unique experience for all girls. It certainly attests to someone’s chess strength among girls around the same age; but more important than that, it creates an unparalleled opportunity for girls to socialize, connect and support each other. Such opportunity is rare to find and therefore is crucial for building a bigger community of female players, where everyone feels empowered, inspired, and courageous to achieve and embraces her femininity.
