Hi everybody,
Goddesschess recently sponsored prizes for female chessplayers in a couple of local/regional chess events:
The 2011 Grand Pacific Open (played over Easter weekend in Victoria, British Columbia), where a chess femme not only won the tournament and took home first prize, she did so with a perfect 6.0/6 score! The main event was convincingly won by WGM Nino Maisuradze with a 6-0 score with wins against most of the highest rated players. Coming in with 5.5 points for second place was Vancouver junior Loren Brigham Laceste who despite his A class rating, took out a number of masters and experts. You can read more here.

They also sponsored prizes for the Hales Corners Chess Challenge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin since Challenge VIII. Two Challenges are held a year, in April and October. Goddesschess recently completed Challenge XIII held on April 16, 2011 with the best yet turn-out of female players, with Goddesschess prizes of $40 for each win and $20 for each draw scored by a female player in the Open - regardless of rank or standing, and payment of entry fee in the next Challenge for top female finishers in the Open and Reserve Sections. The Hales Corners Challenge is a USCF Grand Prix event worth 10 GP points. You can read more here.
