HCA Women’s Individual Championship
Posted: Sun Sep 29, 2024 9:23 am
The Hampshire Chess Association are pleased to announce a new competition for 2024/25. One of our aims is to grow chess in Hampshire and specifically increase the number of female players. With this in mind we have introduced the HCA Women’s Individual Championship for this year. The format of the competition is a double round all play all at players’ clubs or homes between September 2024 and May 2025.
This is not the first time a Hampshire Women’s Individual Championship has been held, but the last one was in 1961 and although started this competition was never completed. But there is a link between the two competitions as a young Gillian Moore played in 1961, and is also playing in this season’s competition.
We are hoping that this competition will help in bringing more female players into the game.
