On 8/24/24, FEMchess held its third California All-Girls Scholastic Chess Championship with 89 players, breaking our previous record as the largest all-girls scholastic tournament in CA, and proudly contributing to help close the gender gap in chess. In just one year, US Chess Federation female youth membership has grown 39% (2023/2022), and female composition has grown from 14.5% to 16.6% in northern CA. Check out this video of the players in action and an article on US Chess
