In its second edition, the Sportland NRW Cup for women and girls will take place from Saturday as part of the Sparkassen Chess Trophy 2022. This year for the first time with norm chances for the female players.
Just like in the already announced Sportland NRW Cup, a 9-round tournament will take place in which all players meet each other.
