III Cape Verdean Women’s Championship\u00a0took place\u00a0from May 2-5 at the Gr\u00e9mio Desportivo Amarante hall in S. Vicente.<\/p>

The round robin, with\u00a0classical time control, stretched over four days and brought together eight players from five islands (Sal, Santiago Sul, Santo Ant\u00e3o, S. Nicolau and S. Vicente).\u00a0<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

It was a highly competitive tournament with the fate of the championship decided in the very end.<\/p>

As the final round approached, the defending champion and rating\u00a0favorite\u00a0C\u00e9lia Rodriguez (pictured below) was only a half-point ahead of Deise Pereira. Deise, showing her mettle, won her game and put additional pressure on the tournament leader. However, C\u00e9lia rose to the challenge, defeating Erika Perez with the black pieces and securing her third national title.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Deise Pereira, who debuted in an official chess competition, took silver (6\/7) and earned the Women’s National Master’s norm. Jacira Almeida netted 4\/7, winning bronze.\u00a0<\/p>

Notably, as many as four participants didn’t have a FIDE rating, with three scoring against players with an international rating. With more games against rated players in the future, they will get a FIDE rating.\u00a0This\u00a0is\u00a0great\u00a0news, given that the Cape Verdean Federation has only nine female players with FIDE Elo.<\/p>
