4 major U.S. girl’s national chess tournaments: Girls Junior

This is the youngest of the four tournaments and the one with the smallest number of participants. 2014 was the first time, with a total of ten people. In the past, the hosting rights were auctioned, but now the St. Louis Club has a monopoly.

Ten girls are basically invited from top to bottom according to their ratings. Only if someone gives up her spots, candidates will be chosen from below. Occasionally there will be a wildcard because someone has a last minute withdraw.

Almost all the participants are above 2,000. The tournament is a single round robin system, using blitz for tiebreaking.

Kasparov Chess Foundation National All-Girls Championship is the second oldest tournament in history among the four.

Different from the other three, this is an open tournament and you can participate as long as you register, so the number of people is increasing year by year.

The tournament is divided into U8, U10, U12, U14, U16 and U18, corresponding to world youth. The first place winner in each section can be qualified to participate in the world youth of the same year. The tournament will be held in the spring and will be held in Chicago.

4 major U.S. girl’s national chess tournaments: SPFGI

The Susan Polgar Foundation Girls' Invitational was founded by Susan Polgar commissioned by USCF in the early 20th century, corresponding to the Denker High School tournament. It has the longest history among the four major tournaments.

SPFGI starts with mini camp, the first two days of training, one day of sightseeing, then puzzle, blitz, bug house, and finally the main games. In recent years, the first three days have been gone. After the epidemic, many games have been played online. So the level became much lower. The main reason may be that Susan has retired. So you must seize the opportunity when it's in person.

The Haring that begins today is named after WIM Ruth Haring. It was originally called the National Girls Tournament of Champions (NGTOC). Started in 2012, this year is the 13th edition.

Each state in the tournament sends one representative. If there is an odd number, the host state can send another one. The tournament is held simultaneously with the three representative tournaments of Denker (high school), Barber (junior high school), and Rockefeller (elementary school), every summer, together with the US Open.
