She won in the UAE!
Chess player Valeria Kleimanova, who plays in the NSO, won the tournament in El Ain. The athlete scored 10 points in 13 games.
According to the girl, there was no need to relax on the board: all the competitors were strong. One of the most difficult was the match with Afroza Khamdamova from Uzbekistan, who ended up winning the silver.
- Before the start there was an almost sleepless night, then a long flight and a sharp change in climate. It's incredibly nice to win a competition at this level. I am especially happy that this is already my second world champion title within a year," shared the athlete.
Valeria has been playing chess since she was seven years old. In 2018 she became the national champion. The athlete lives in Ulyanovsk, but also competes for our region. For now, the girl focused on chess and refused to enter the university.
- Well done.
