Valeria Kleymenova delivered one of the most dominant performances of the FIDE World Youth Chess Championship 2026, scoring an incredible 9.5 points out of 10 to become the Under-18 Girls World Champion.

Representing the FIDE flag, the young Russian star showcased exceptional consistency, fighting spirit, and mature decision-making throughout the tournament. Round after round, she proved why she is one of the brightest rising talents in women's chess.

This video captures the most emotional moments of her journey—the tense final minutes of the decisive game, the instant her opponent resigned, the realization that she had become World Champion, and the heartfelt embrace with her mother that followed. It is a beautiful reminder that behind every title are years of sacrifice, hard work, and unwavering belief.

Congratulations to Valeria Kleymenova, the new FIDE World Under-18 Girls Champion! 🏆♟️

🇨🇳 Ding Liren on what has changed and his new approach to chess after winning two gold medals at the FIDE World Team Rapid and Blitz Championships:

"I've changed a little. I have more courage now. Sometimes I play for a win even when my opponent offers a draw, and that's something I'm very happy about because opportunities appear."

"In some tournaments before, I didn't have the same desire or enjoyment. But here I started enjoying the game again. Even in some games I lost, I enjoyed the battle itself."
