Meet Our Team

Founder and President


I'm Neha Sharan, the founder and president of Girls4Chess and I've been immersed in the world of chess for almost a  decade. Throughout my journey, I've participated in over 230 tournaments and witnessed firsthand the underrepresentation of girls in competitive chess. That's why I'm thrilled to introduce ChessForGirls.org, an organization dedicated to empowering and training more girls to play chess.

Hi! My name is Annika and I am the secretary for girls4chess. While I haven’t had much experience playing chess competitively, I enjoy playing it recreationally or occasionally with friends. I’m excited to encourage girls to play not only chess, but all activities where they’re offered equal opportunities!
