The legendary Georgian chess player Nona Gaprindashvili, 74, once again became a champion – this time she won in the Seniors World Championship.
It happened in the Italian town of Acqui Terme, where the tournament was held in four different age categories.
In Acqui Terme, where the championship among the women of 65 years of age or more was taking place, Gaprindashvili accumulated 7 points from 9 games, which is 0.5 points more than Tamar Khmiadashvili, another Georgian.
As a result, the first two places at this championship were taken by Georgians.
Nona Gaprindashvili is a five-time world champion. She is a winner of 20 Olympic gold medals. In 1978 she became the first woman in chess to become grand master and in 2001 her name was given to the Tbilisi Chess School.
