♟️Girls Interschools Chess Tournament – Record Participation!

The power of chess is growing stronger every year, and this time it’s powered by an incredible number of girls stepping up to the board!
This tournament marks a record number of young female players competing, thinking, calculating, and showing their fighting spirit over the chessboard. ♟️👑🔥

Seeing so many girls embracing the game proves once again that chess is for everyone — a game of courage, creativity, and smart decisions. Every move is a step toward confidence, resilience, and leadership.
Together with the Malta Chess Federation , I want to wish the very best of luck to all the young chess stars taking part. 🌟
