Participants in this event will have the opportunity to meet many girls and female players, as well as coaches and chess fans from the tri-state area, connect with the chess community, and have a full day of fun with the game! The event is UQ’s endeavor to celebrate the chess achievements that many girls have accomplished or are working on.

The celebration will take place in the popular Washington Square Park Chess Plaza in NYC, from 1-5pm on 10/09: the Sunday of Columbus Day long weekend. It will feature many electrifying activities, including two simuls with top female masters, a blitz tournament, and a puzzle contest! Winners will be awarded with medals, autographed chess books, and customized chess sets! Souvenirs will also be distributed to all participants, and refreshments will be provided throughout.

Whether you live in New York and want to spend an afternoon with your chess friends, or are travelling in the area on the holiday and want to play some fun games during your trip, please come! Please also bring your friends and families to make the festival truly festive!

Hope to see you all there, and let’s celebrate together our love and passion for chess!

The Fall 2022 Unruly Queens Free Group Lesson Series which will take place on Zoom every Tuesday from 7-8pm Eastern Time, starting on 9/20 and concluding on 12/06. Participants will be split into two groups based on playing level, and all girls are welcome!

For those who attended UQ summer lessons, they are more than welcome to come back! The fall curriculum will cover a wider spectrum of topics together with a richer collection of examples/exercises than in the summer. There could be a chance that some topics will be repeated, but they serve as a good opportunity to reinforce certain concepts with more practice. To register, please fill out the google form here, and any questions can be directed to theunrulyqueens@gmail.com.
