The second edition of the Himalayan Queen's Gambit is scheduled to be held at the Chess Park in Thapathali from Sunday. More than a hundred players will compete in the Himalayan Queen's Gambit, which will be an official competition under the World Chess Federation's 'FIDE Women's Chess Marathon'.
The academy has collaborated with Props Nepal to organize the third competition in Nepal that will only allow women players to participate. The collaboration agreement was signed by Himalayan Chess Academy founder Monalisha Khambu and Props Nepal chief Deepa Shrestha.
Khambu says, 'In partnership with the FIDE Commission for Women's Chess, competitions are being held all over the world in March. We are organizing the only competition in Nepal under that. About 100 players will participate in the one-day competition, which will be held as a celebration of unrated players to give new players a chance in chess.' She also said that 50 players had registered by Thursday.
Shrestha said, “We have collaborated with the Himalayan Chess Academy to give shape to the effort to celebrate women’s chess in Nepal. We will make the Queen’s Gambit grand.”
In the first edition held last year, 142 unrated players aged between five and 67 competed. This time, along with the top eight, awards will also be given to the winners of the U-7, U-10, U-13, U-16 and over 50 age groups. Spacer awards will also be given to the best three schools and five players.
