<<EY Takes a Stand for Gender Equality as Norway Chess Sponsor

21.5.2025

As a proud sponsor of Norway Chess, EY is actively engaged in promoting gender equality in the world of chess. In connection with this year’s tournament, Arbab Dar, Country Managing Partner at EY Norway, shares his reflections on why <supporting women in chess is essential> – and how the business world can help drive change.

Checkmate to Gender Inequality?...>>

<This year, for the second time, Norway Chess is hosting a women’s tournament with a <prize fund equal to that of the open tournament.> EY is sponsoring the prize fund for the women’s tournament.>

<‘There is a queen on every board – let’s add more to the game.’ We’re proud to continue that mission,” Dar concludes.>🤮🤮

  MissScarlett: <Norway Chess (Women)>

Do women belong in brackets?

The official site styles itself <Norway Chess Women's Tournament> which scans better than <Norway Chess (Women) Tournament> but <Norway Chess Women> on its own seems rather bare. <Norway Women's Chess> or <Women's Norway Chess> also risk offence.

  Atterdag: Becoming easily offended by benevolent phenomena seems to have become a popular sport surpassing all others. For some people.
