Between the first of august and the 11th of august 2019 in European chess champioenship in Bratislva.

With 22 people from the Belgian delegation we left together on the plane to this championship.

After 9 rounds I gained 4th place with an unbeaten score of 7/9 points! With a tournament performance of more than 150 points above my current ELO. Wow, how happy I am! I did not expect this with so many strong players.

Thank you to everyone for your support and trust!

Last weekend the Flemish championship took place in Ghent. This takes place every year in the buildings of the KGSRL, the largest Flemish chess club in the country.

What makes this tournament so difficult is that you have to play two games a day. This makes it enormously tiresome and requires a lot of endurance. Here I fought hard among all experienced players and achieved a final score of 3/7! Another special experience.

Last weekend one of the largest tournaments in the Benelux took place, the Open tournament of Maastricht.

Every year more than 450 players come here to compete for the places of honor.

The tournament is divided into different series A, B & C series, depending on your current ELO level.

I myself entered the C-2 series this year, a -1800 ELO series.

With my current international ELO of 1593 I would have to fight hard for every game.

Despite the strong opposition, I managed to cash in a place in the top 10!

With 5 out of 7 points, I won 8th place with a tournament performance ELO from 1805! 200 points more than my current level.

Yeah! The new elos are out. With more than 150 points extra, I rise to second place in the Belgian rankings -12. Between the boys & girls!

Hey,

I’m Diana Musabayeva and I love chess.

I have two brothers Maxim and Alexander, my dad is an electrician and my mom works as a babysitter for family help.

My family gives me every opportunity to grow and support.

My brother Maxim is in the top 10 of best youth players in his age category. In 2019, Flemish champion -10 and East Flemish champion. In 2018 East Flemish champion.

I dream of becoming the Belgian woman’s grandmaster.

An overview of my achievements

2020 Flemish femal champion -14
2019 East Flemish female champion -14
2019 4 th place in the European Championship Girls -12
2019 Belgian female champion -12,
2019 Flemish female champion -12,

My biggest dream is to become the best female chess player and the first female grandmaster of Belgium. Today, no women have been able to realize this in Belgium. I believe in the power of women and I will prove this even then!

This requires a lot of training and a lot of international tournament experience.

Unfortunately this costs a lot of money to my mom and dad. Who have to work hard to finance all this. Examples are transport costs, accommodation costs, registration fees, food, drinks and coaching.

You can give us a helping hand by contributing a little to these costs.

I promise you eternal fame and gratitude.
