The First Women’s International March 8 Tournament was organized between March 8 and 24, 1965, in honour of The Women`s Day March 8.

International March 8 Tournaments have become a tradition in Belgrade, and with exception of 1980 and 1984, have been held every year. In 1980, the Tournament wasn’t held at all due to financial reasons, and in 1984, it was played according to the Swiss system, but only with the participation of local players.

Today the organizer of tournaments, Belgrade Chess Association, tried to save tradition of tournament and has managed in that.

1. 46. International Ladies’ Grandmaster Chess Tournament, Belgrade, 3. – 11. March 2014, 10 participants from Serbia, Poland, Moldova and Spain.
