The 2026 Southeastern Regional Women's & Girls' Championship is happening in two weeks, and it's a significant new event for the Atlanta-area chess scene. Hosted in Tucker, Georgia, on May 9, the tournament serves as a major qualifier for national championships and brings together players from across the region.

Even though Chess Zone is not the organizer, we want to make sure this is on your calendar (and please let the women and girls in your life know about this if you are a male). Let's support the growing community of girls and women in chess.
