The Pacific Northwest’s
Girl’s Chess Connections

My Chess World, is dedicated to empowering and supporting female and non-binary youth chess players by implementing innovative strategies to promote and elevate the game within the community. Through our mentorship, skill-building programs, and outreach initiatives, our goal is to foster a love for chess and equip young players with the tools to succeed both on and off the board. By creating inclusive and supportive environments, we encourage players of all skill levels to develop confidence, enhance critical thinking, and build meaningful connections with their peers.

We are also committed to breaking down barriers that have historically limited access to chess, particularly for the underrepresented groups of girls and non-binary players. We partner with schools, community centers, and local organizations to provide resources, training, and competitive opportunities for young players to showcase their talents. Our vision extends beyond individual growth—we aim to strengthen the presence of chess in the community, inspiring the next generation to reach their full potential through the game.
