Outstanding Performance from IM Nurgyul Salimova to finish runner-up in the 2023 FIDE Women's World Cup!

As well as earning a spot in the next women's Candidate Tournament ! 👏

Her skill, dedication, and tenacity have showcased the true spirit of competition and empowerment.

I'm eliminated from my first French Championship but life is good, as my best friend came to see me before going back to Barcelona.

Matoche is a FM, she works at Chessable and more importantly she is the kindest, cutest, sweetest and nicest human being.

I won another sacrificial game despite having the opposing style.

Repeating moves would have been enough to qualify, but one move forces resignation.

Can you spot it?

Why does converting a Q vs. R endgame feel so boring sometimes?

Because it's a 9 to 5 job

THE TIME SCRAMBLE OF HER LIFE!
Nurgyul Salimova sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOK with seconds left (!!) for mate-in-three to beat former World Rapid Champion Anna Muzychuk (!!) and put her on the brink of the Candidates! 🤯

In response to concerns about FIDE's recently announced new regulations about transgender chess players, we want to make sure US Chess members are familiar with our transgender policy that we introduced in 2018. This applies to all US Chess events.
