‘Opening moves – FLINTA* chess meeting’ with Fiona Steil-Antoni
The chess world is often considered fair and meritocratic – but reality always shows a clear imbalance: men dominate tournaments, coaching positions and media coverage. Why is that? And how could chess change if FLINTA* people were to participate more actively?
This workshop is not about performance or winning, but about the fun of the game and the questions that lie behind the black and white squares: How is inequality reflected in chess? And how can we turn the rules on their head? Our Luxembourgish chess presenter and chess player Fiona Steil-Antoni will provide input on the world of women in chess and an introduction to the rules.
For all FLINTA* people – whether you are a chess beginner or experienced player.
The workshop will be accompanied by a book exhibition on the theme of ‘Women in the world of sport’ at the CID library.

„Opening moves – FLINTA* Schachtreffen” mam Fiona Steil-Antoni
D’Schachwelt gëllt oft als fair a meritokratesch – mee d’Realitéit weist nach ëmmer en däitlecht Ongläichgewiicht: Männer dominéieren an Turnéieren, Trainerposten a Medieberichter. Firwat ass dat esou? A wéi kéint Schach ausgesinn, wann FLINTA*-Persounen verstärkt géife matwierken?
Bei dësem Atelier geet et net ëm Leeschtung oder Gewënn, mee ëm Spaass um Spill, an déi Froen, déi sech hannert engem schwaarz-wäisse Briet verstoppen: Wéi spigelt sech Ongläichheet am Schach erëm? A wéi kënne mir déi Regele op d’Kopp geheien? En Input an d’Welt vun de Fraen am Schach an eng Aféierung an d’Reegelen gëtt eis déi lëtzebuergesch Schach-Moderatrice a Schachspillerin Fiona Steil-Antoni.
Fir all FLINTA*-Persounen – egal ob Schach-Ufänger:in oder mat Erfarung.
Begleet gëtt den Atelier vun enger Buchausstellung zum Thema “Fraen an der Sportwelt” an der Bibliothéik vum CID.
