Jersey Girl Organizes All-Girls Chess Camp

Alice Dong, a 2044-rated sixteen year old junior at Princeton (NJ) High School, is doing her part to get more girls involved in chess.  She planned, organized, and executed a two-day chess camp for girls in New Jersey, during the state’s two-day teachers’ convention break on Thursday and Friday, November 6 and 7.  Alice’s goal was clear.  She stated “By increasing the number of girls who are introduced to chess, hopefully the number of girls who continue and maintain their interest will increase as well.”  In fact, thanks to sponsorship and donations, all the girls were able to attend the camp for free.
