The 11th Menchik Memorial comes to London this August as part of the Mind Sports Olympiad!

From 24 to 30 August, ten of the world's rising female players compete for WGM and WIM norms at the Mercure London Suite Conference Centre. Average rating: 2210. Time control: 90 minutes plus 30 seconds per move. Every game counts.

In this video we introduce each player: where they come from, how they play, and what a norm here would mean for their career.

The tournament honours Vera Menchik, the first women's world chess champion. She won the title at 21 and never lost it, defending it repeatedly until her death in 1944, when a V-1 rocket struck her home in Clapham. She learned her chess in Hastings and London. Eighty-two years on, the strongest women's norm event in England still carries her name.

Meet the players:
IM/WGM Klaudia Kulon
FM/WIM Lara Schulze
GM/WGM Keti Arakhamia Grant
WGM Elmira Mirzoeva
WIM Cecile Haussernot
WIM Andreaa Marioara Cosman
WIM Kasia Dwilewicz
WFM Kamila Hryshchenko
WFM Shambavi Hariharan
WFM Anusha Subramanian

Chief Arbiter: IA Paul McKeown
Deputy Chief Arbiter: NA Zoya Boozorginia
Organiser: IA Agnieszka Milewska, Director of Women's Chess in England

With thanks to the tournament sponsors and the Chess Trust.

The Menchik Memorial runs alongside the Mind Sports Olympiad, London's international festival of chess, board games and mind sports, held every August since 1997.
