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.

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.
