=====BACKGROUND========

We started this event in 2016 as a promise to a group of female players who played in local Jacksonville tournaments. To make it special we included t-shirts and treated all players to lunch. The players loved the chess and the event and we've held it every year until COVID. Many of our champions have been some of the best players in the state. Our best attended event was in 2018 when we had 52 players. Click to see photos on our facebook page.
