Promoting Queens is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women and girls through chess. We believe that chess is more than just a game – it is a tool for personal growth and development, as well as a means of promoting social change.

Our organization was founded on the belief that everyone, regardless of gender or background, should have the opportunity to learn and excel at chess. We recognize that women and girls face unique challenges and barriers in the chess world  and beyond, and we are committed to addressing these issues by providing resources, support, and advocacy.

Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to create a supportive and inclusive community of chess players who are committed to promoting gender equity in the game. Our organization offers a variety of resources and services, including:

Chess training and education: We provide access to training materials, coaching, and other resources designed to help women and girls improve their chess skills and knowledge.
