We recognize that true change requires consistency and dedication ✊🏽 That’s why we’re proud to share our continued commitment to gender equality in chess as we head into 2025! Following the success of our groundbreaking 2024 edition, the Norway Chess Women tournament will return alongside the main event—with an... equal prize fund 🤵🏽‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️. 💬 Benedicte Westre Skog emphasizes the importance of keeping this commitment strong: “For us, having a women’s tournament isn’t just a one-time thing. We don’t want a ‘historic women’s tournament with equal prize money’ and then it’s gone the next year. It’s crucial for us to ensure that this happens again.” Who do you want to see in this amazing female lineup? Write in the comments 👇 #NorwayChess #NorwayChessWomenshow more

Make it a 12 player event, that would be real equality.

Your money your right to do whatever you want, but poor decision on my opinion. What is thr incentive for a woman to be a top player if she can get the same as Magnus and Fabi in much easier tournament

Nemo1 year ago

Fantastic! I want to see Alice Lee!

tess 🏳️‍🌈1 year ago

ok, but you're inviting ju to compete in the open, right? at least giving her a choice of which to play right?

Good news and initiative powering Women's #Chess. I recommend to invite Divya Desmukh next time.

Sean1 year ago

Having an open and female exclusive tournament with equal prize pools is not equality. It's "positive" discrimination which clearly favours women If anything, equality would be abolishing the female only tournament

Aksbwbak1 year ago

How is it equal if men of the same strength don’t earn any money ? Women already all make more than men in chess , if you strive for equality pay the men more

Natalia Zhukova1 year ago

Awesome!

Taimoor1 year ago

There shouldn't be any woman tournaments, increase or double the number of participants in open tournaments and add 3-4 mandatory woman spots if you really care about woman

CRIME ALERT: From 1pm TODAY broadcast live on Sky Sports: a man will be stealing up to £10,000 prize money and kudos that belongs to women in a FLAGRANT breach of the Equality Act 2010. PREVIOUS CRIMES: THEFT of £16,200 of women’s darts prize money (2024-25) PERPETRATOR: Noa-Lynn van Leuven (male) aided and abetted by the Professional Darts Company, Sky Sports and Betfred The Dutch man van Leuven takes his place alongside seven of the world’s TOP female darts players at Blackpool’s Winter Garden. One woman is missing because van Leuven (who is seeded second in the tournament) has taken a place on the women’s team. The competitors in the 2025 Betfred Women’s World Matchplay are the top eight female darts players based on the prize money they have accrued over the previous 12 months in the Matchplay Series. Top is Beau Greaves (earnings £33,800), van Leuven is in second place with £16,200 of ill-gotten gains that belong to women. As an aside the top women’s prize of £10,000 pales into insignificance compared with the £200,000 top prize in the Open Matchplay tournament for the top men (and any woman who can break through). The PDC Darts knows it’s breaking the law because WRN has written to CEO Matthew Porter several times (no replies). We’re willing to lay a wager that the sponsors Betfred know the law is being broken. The broadcaster Sky Sports knows the law is being broken but they’re so far up the gender woo back alley they don’t care. It’s been 102 days since the Supreme Court clarified that in law the word woman means biological female. Why is PDC continuing to break the law? Could the PDC have a woman problem… maybe when you list 34 PDC personnel on your website and only ONE (the Head of Admin) is a woman, then you might not be living in the real world where 51% of the population is female. PDC… you’re on borrowed time. The LAW is the LAW and you’re breaking it. Darts is big money nowadays so we’re sure you have a fighting fund ready for the sex discrimination cases coming your way. Just sayin’…

“At The Past Election I Didn’t Support Tinubu Because I Wanted To Be An Igbo Boy By Supporting Peter Obi, And I Made Some Careless Mistakes. I Was a Fool Then, But Not Anymore. We’re Just Looking For a Fair Share In This Government. We Igbos Are a People Defeated During The War, And It Hasn’t Been Easy For Us In Nigeria. That’s Why We Want To Be Smart This Time Around To Get What We Want. We Don’t Want To Lose Again, And We Will Never Waste Our Votes Again. That’s Why We’re Standing With City Boy Movement And Tinubu. Also, They Won’t Tell You That Seyi Tinubu Is Marrying An Igbo Girl. He Is Our Brother And Our Own.” ~ Cubana Chief Priest

⭕️ Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “The same folks who attack us are the reason that Trump’s in office. It’s true, folks. They reject people like us who don’t want the crumbs anymore. We don’t want to wait for change. We need it now. When the folks come out and try to box us in and they say, ‘Oh, you all this and that and this and that,’ well, the fact that you haven’t moved with urgency is literally why people feel betrayed.”

This is the Gaza we want to return to — and rebuild with our own hands. We do not want a polished Gaza built by those who destroyed it. We do not want a Gaza treated as land without people, or as an “investment project” for those whose hands are stained with the blood of our families. We do not want deception, false promises, or charity wrapped in power. We want Gaza in its simplicity — the Gaza we come from, and the Gaza that comes from us.

On Tuesday, we had an Election in our Country and we now know who will become the 47th President of our United States. What does this mean for Philadelphia? As Vice President JD Vance Harris told us yesterday, now is not the time to throw up our hands. It’s time to “roll up our sleeves.” Despite the results, we as a City are moving forward, not looking in the rearview mirror. My Administration is laser focused on the work ahead of us, today, next week, next month, next year and beyond. It is our mission to deliver Philadelphia a government that they can see, touch and feel, and nothing will ever change our commitment to delivering on that promise.

AP Pentagon correspondent Tara Copp: “Why not acknowledge the female pilots that also participated in this mission? The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: “So when I say something like, our boys and bombers — see, this is the kind of thing the press does, right? Of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot. That’s fantastic. She’s fantastic. She’s a hero. I want more female bomber pilots. I hope the men and women of our country sign up to do such brave and audacious things. But when you spin it as because I say our boys and bombers is a common phrase, I’ll keep saying things like that, whether they’re men or women. Very proud of that female pilot, just like I’m very proud of those male pilots And I don’t care if it’s a male or a female in that cockpit, and the American people don’t care, but it’s the obsession with race and gender in this department that’s changed priorities and we don’t do that anymore. We don’t play your little games.”

We're incredibly proud of what we created with our Titled Tuesday broadcasts, but unfortunately we will not continue after Split 3 is done. Here's a bit of context. "What shocked me the most was when Danny joined the Dina podcast, where Dina asked him about this partnership, and he said that we're only doing Titled Tuesday with Take Take Take because we paid them a big check." "We are covering the prize fund. So we are paying the prize money for the players. The thing that shocked me was that, yes, it's factually true that we are paying the prize fund and covering that expense for Chesscom, but we had a shared ambition. And it was very clear to me in that interview that this ambition is only for Take Take Take." "That was devastating for me and for the team to hear, for our partner in this project not to have the same vision and alignment and talking about how big Titled Tuesday can become."

🚨 NOW: VP JD Vance reveals why crushing fraud is PERSONAL for him. This is why we LOVE JD "I grew up in a family where we sometimes benefited from these programs. The generosity of the American people is one of the most amazing things about our country." "I think all of us, of course, just passed tax day, none of us like paying our taxes, but we do it. And why do we do it? Because we know that it goes to give a bite to a low-income family that can't afford food." "We know that it goes to pay the military who keep us safe. We know that it goes to some essential services, but that trust, that trust in our government, that trust in our institution, it depends on us taking that trust seriously." "How long are people going to pay into programs if they know that that money doesn't go to a low-income kid who needs health care, but that money goes into a fraudster getting rich?" "This doesn't work, and this doesn't make sense unless we take fraud seriously, so I'm proud to be part of an effort in our government." "I'm proud to lead the effort in our government to finally take fraud seriously. We want to protect these programs for the kids and the families who need them." "We want to ensure that the American taxpayer isn't getting fleeced, and I'd say just a few months into it, gentlemen, we have done a very, very good job. Let's keep it up." 🔥

We need to call a thing what it is. Black tax dollars are fueling an economy that too often leaves Black people out. In an all-Black neighborhood, not one Black face on the crew fixing the roads we paid for. That’s not a coincidence—it’s a system. This is taxation without representation. It’s time for Black elected officials to hold the line: no more contracts without Black representation. Until there’s equity in who gets the work and who benefits from our tax dollars, we must use every bit of our power to shift resources toward our people. In a state that’s 34% Black, a parish that’s 48% Black, and a city that’s 56% Black, it is unacceptable for public dollars to keep flowing to companies that shut Black workers out. We can’t force them to hire us—but our leaders don’t have to keep voting to fund them either. And every time somebody brings up crime in our communities, I’m going to bring up jobs. We fund the building of white wealth every day while being told to “fix our own problems.” That’s not just wrong—it’s corporate welfare. You take money from one community, invest it in another, and then blame the first for the outcomes. If you want to fix crime, start by funding our businesses, hiring our people, and treating our communities like they are equal in investment. Stop asking us to fix the symptoms while you keep feeding the disease.
