🤝We are delighted to announce official collaboration with the 14th edition of one of the strongest festivals focused on women’s chess - WGM Radzikowska Chess Festival! ♟️It is a tribute to one of the strongest Polish🇵🇱 female chess players in history, Krystyna Radzikowska. She won Polish Championship a record 9 times, won gold on board 1 at the 1957 Chess Olympiad and participated in two Candidates Tournaments! 👏The Festival does a true honour to the memory of this player. It holds various tournaments and events for girls and women, as well as its main highlight—the highly anticipated Match between Poland’s🇵🇱 strongest women grandmasters and the Rest of the World Team🌎 📍The Festival will take place from 7th till 14th March in Wroclaw, Poland. Over the years, the event has welcomed some of the greatest female players in the world as part of Team World, including: 🌟 Antoaneta Stefanova (former Women’s World Champion) 🌟 Harika Dronavalli (India’s top female player, current Olympic Champion) 🌟 Pia Cramling (legendary Swedish grandmaster) And of course Polish stars: 🌟 Monika Socko (only polish player with a title of a GM, 8-time Polish Women’s Champion, former Women’s European Champion, winner of the Olympic silver medal with Team Poland) 🌟 Jolanta Zawadzka (4-time Polish Women’s Champion, winner of the Olympic silver medal with Team Poland) 🌟 Iweta Rajlich (8-time Polish Women’s Champion, former top 25 in the world) 🌟 Alina Kaszlinska (Polish Women’s Champion, former Women’s European Champion) ✨The Chair of the Commission, Anastasia Sorokina, as well as FIDE Secretary General Łukasz Turlej, attended the last edition of the Festival, and it was then that the idea for this collaboration was born. We are really glad to see it becoming a reality this year! ℹ️Read more about it here: https://wom.fide.com/partnership-with-one-of-the-worlds-strongest-womens-chess-festivals/
