June 6–7. Tokyo, Japan. Mark your calendars. The first edition of the WR Chess Women’s Tour 2026 is coming to Japan. Four invited players, three top-rated players from Asia, and one winner of the online qualifier will compete for the title. More details about the qualifier will follow shortly. We are proud to bring our chess initiative to Japan 🇯🇵 - a country we are already connected to through our own presence. Chess offers a unique platform that aligns closely with the philosophy and discipline behind many of Japan’s leading companies. We would be honored to engage with leaders such as @ToyotaMotorCorp @Sony @SoftBank @panasonic @Nintendo @RakutenJP @Hitachi @Fujitsu_Global @Honda @NissanMotor @Canon @Kirin_Company @asahigroupjapan @UNIQLO_JP @MHI_Group @mitsuiandco @Sumitomo_SA @official_kddi @docomo to explore the potential of chess as a global platform. We welcome you to join us for this event in Tokyo. Feel free to contact me directly. Let’s build something meaningful together and unite chess worldwide.
