About this event
On November 19, The Jamaica Chess Federation (the governing body for chess in Jamaica) will be staging its annual "Woman International Master Deborah Richards-Porter Women's Chess Festival", a tournament named in honour of the country's most decorated female chess player.
The current ratio male to female actively engaging in chess both locally and globally is approximately 9:1. As such, in an effort to increase the presence of females within the sport, the JCF through its Women's Chess committee is embarking on developmental projects aimed specifically at girls and women.
If you would like to find out more about the Committee or offer assistance to its cause feel free to contact Committee Chair Listra Clemetson at 864-3445.
