The Ladies Open Ghent is a collaboration between the Royal Belgian Chess Federation and the Royal Ghent Chess Circle.
It is a 3-day rapid tournament from January 3 to 5, 2025, counting for FIDE rapid rating.
With this tournament, we want to organize a unique tournament just for ladies. To get more ladies to play chess, there are no miracle solutions. Organizing more adapted activities seems to allow an improvement and this tournament is an example of that.
We want to reach as many chess-playing ladies as possible and know what can make chess more fun for them.
What did last year’s participants think?
* Fun atmosphere: relaxed between games yet very competitive at the chessboard
* Getting to know other ladies you meet back at other tournaments as well
* Smaller tournament, allowing everyone to interact with all the other participants.
* Super that there were participants from all over the country.
* Playing the tournament and staying in Ghent is a wonderful mix.
