About 4 Queens Chess Club:

4 Queens Chess Club was formed by 4 mothers of four Ernakulam based chess players in the year 2017, for conducting FIDE Rated tournaments and National Championships. They are - Advocate  Mini Elizabeth George - President, Sandhya Krishnakumar - Secretary, Advocate Mercy Thomas - Treasurer and Manju V M.

 

In the year 2017, there were very little FIDE Rated tournaments in Kerala and after getting fed up of taking children to far away places for tournaments, the founding club members had a brainstorm of conducting chess tournaments here at Ernakulam. With the enthusiasm of new comers they took up the task of two chess tournaments and conducted their first FIDE Rated Tournament in May 2018.
