Nigel Short: I have often heard the lament "I can't improve. I don't have a coach." You can always try reading some chess books. It worked for me.

The sad news of Milunka Lazarevic's death arrived last evening. A truly great chess player, well respected among her rivals, journalists and chess historian will be missed by her friends, colleagues and admirers.

🔴 About Alisa Galliamova

♦️ Alisa Galliamova
♦️ Russian Chess International Master

📚 IM and WGM Alisa Mikhailovna Galliamova won the World Girls Junior Championship (Under 20) in 1988 and has competed in Candidates and World Championship Tournaments since 1990 when she placed 4th in the Borzomi Candidates tournament. In 1994, she came fourth in the Tillburg Candidates and won the Groningen Candidates in 1997 ahead of Xie Jun. Her subsequent match with Xie Jun in 1999, which Galliamova lost, determined the new Women's World Champion when FIDE stripped Zsuzsa Polgar of the title.

📕 Galliamova became the 2006 World Women's Vice-Champion when she lost the final match of the FIDE Women's World Championship (2006) to Yuhua Xu. In 2012, she played in the FIDE Knock-out Women's World Championship (2012), defeating Ekaterina Kovalevskaya and Valentina Gunina in the early rounds before losing to French GM Marie Sebag in the third round.

📕 Other successes include winning the Women's Russian Championship in 1997, coming 7th in the Men's Russian Championship in 2000 and winning the 60th Russian Women's Superfinal (2010).

📗 She used to be married to Vassily Ivanchuk.
