2010 Women's Chess Tournaments Calendar



Hello dear lady-tournament players!

Today FIDE announced the final schedule of the Women's FIDE Grand-Prix Series for 2009/10. There is one such Grand-Prix tournament left in 2009 and there will be 4 more Grand-Prix in 2010. Together with these tournaments I started a special table for open, closed, FIDE and all types of tournaments in 2010. The same table for the year 2009 you can found here.

There are quite a few great tournaments to keep us women chess players busy, practically all year long. Women also have the advantage to be allowed to also play in men's tournaments, which can be of a very high level and can be useful to get grandmaster practice.

Below are just the main starts for 2010 women-only tournaments, the dates of which I found on-line. If you know the dates of other chess events of if you are organizing a women's chess tournament, please feel free to let me know by entering a comment in this post and I will include your event in this calendar.

    e2e4 Uxbridge International Womens Invitational 13th-17th February 2010 http://www.e2e4.org.uk/international/2010/Uxbridge/index.htm
    Tournament Organiser: Lawrence Cooper lozcooper@hotmail.com

    Based in Denham, near Uxbridge West London this FIDE rated event is aimed at younger female players (rated mainly between 1800-2100) looking to play 9 rated games over 5 days. For those visiting England it is a chance to play and stay in a nice hotel and combine chess with a few days sightseeing in London.

    There are also norm tournaments alongside offering GM/IM/WGM/WIM opportunties for both male and female players. Tournament organiser of these is Sean Hewitt info@e2e4.org.uk

    Best wishes,
