ACT Women's and Girls Championship

 After a break of a few years, the ACTJCL is organising the 2021 ACT Women's and Girls Championships. It will on the weekend of the 11th and 12th of September, and will be a 6 round swiss (3 rounds on each day). There is quite a good prize pool ($500 1st prize) and is open to all female players (not just ACT residents). Entries open tomorrow, and details can be found at https://www.trybooking.com/BSXDI

Previous tournaments attracted good fields of between 25 and 40 players, and there has already been a lot of interest in this years event. A number of strong junior players are expected to take part, along with strong active and semi active adult players. Girls chess in the ACT is on a bit of an upswing at the moment (with good numbers in out junior events) so this should be a popular and competitive tournament.
