Season 2 began on January 7, 2022, with Her League 11, which was Her League’s first event reaffirming its title of most active All Girls Chess League/Tournament in the United States.

In general, chess arms players with a set of tools that can be helpful in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM). HMN teaches girls to plan ahead, think in patterns, and visualize the moves on the board. Players also learn to consider the strategy behind their opponents’ moves, not just their own. All of these are important skills that can be utilized in STEAM activities.

On June 8th 2019, the organization launched its inaugural Brooklyn event. Her Move Next felt it was important to try a new location, in order to reach new players. By holding the event at a different school, in a different borough, girls who may not have known about HMN, or not been willing to travel into Manhattan, were able to participate.

"My favorite part was doing my best," another player said. While everyone loves to win, coaches focused less on conspicuous victory, and more on improving for the next game and having a good time. Players learned that success is not only defined by winning the game - success can range anywhere from having fun with friends to enjoying a slice of pizza to learning something new - all of which were a part of the evening.

The second Her Move Next chess tournament was held on 2/8/19, after the first being so successful. Over forty-eight determined girls of all ages came together on that Friday night to compete head to head, while also divided into four teams vying against one another.

Girls from all ages, all experience levels, and many schools across the city came together because of their common passion; chess. As each girl walked into the auditorium where the tournament was held, she realized that she was part of a larger community.
