Kazakhstan’s Bibisara Assaubayeva Claims Historic Third Chess Blitz Title
Kazakhstan’s Bibisara Assaubayeva has made history by becoming the first player from her country to win the World Chess Blitz Championship three times. Her latest victory earned praise from President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who personally honoured her achievements. Assaubayeva claimed her third world blitz title, solidifying her status as one of the top chess players in the game. The win marked a first for Kazakhstan, as no other chess player from the nation had previously secured three world chess blitz championships. In recognition of her success, President Tokayev awarded her the Order of Barys, Second Class. The honour was given for her outstanding contributions to chess and for raising Kazakhstan’s profile in the sport. The ceremony took place just a day before the official announcement of her latest triumph. The presidential award highlights Assaubayeva’s dominance in chess blitz and her role in promoting the game in Kazakhstan. With three world titles, she now stands as the country’s most decorated chess blitz champion.
