More than 40 years after the BBC first dipped its programming toe into chess with The Master Game, the network has returned this month with Chess Masters: The Endgame. Mike Klein interviewed lula about her experience on the show! chess.com/news/view/lula…

SHE IS THE STAR!!!!! 🤩 Eline Roebers is the sole leader (!!) of the European Championship! She's the only one left on 4/4! 😮 chess-results.com/tnr1135872.asp… 📷: Jim Laga #chess #womeninchess

We are excited to announce the 2025 Class of WICF-Chessable Scholars! Not only do we have 11 new girls, we were able to invite our 2024 scholars to continue participating in the program✨ We would not be able to do this without the generosity of our chess community!

coming back briefly to show off the new class of scholars! all of these girls are so incredibly talented and passionate about chess and i can't wait to see what they accomplish!!

distraught at this news. i was planning on interviewing Fridrik for my dissertation as he was my personal favorite FIDE president and made such a difference in chess during his lifetime. RIP 💔

The Women in Chess in Foundation commends International Chess Federation and the EDC’s suspension of GM Christopher Yoo for his continued misconduct. Harassment is never acceptable and WICF will continue to stand by & provide support to those who have affected by GM Yoo’s actions.

Thanks so much for the invite to your Vienna show GothamChess! Fiona Steil-Antoni did a great job hosting and Alessia Santeramo and Felix Blohberger were such fun guests ♟️✨ Get your tickets for the tour if you haven’t already!!

👏 Pia Cramling

Anish is more than welcome to run alongside me as my VP for the FIDE elections but I have been prepping my candidacy since 2022 and I’m tired of men running FIDE so I hope he’s willing to step back for the greater good 😌
