Baku/02.08.23/Turan: The World Chess Cup held in Baku attracted international attention with the participation of a chess player of Iranian origin, 26-year-old Sarasadat Khademalsharieh.
The girl became famous after last year's protests in Iran against the mandatory wearing of the hijab.
At an international tournament in Kazakhstan, she went to the competition without a hijab, which caused sharp criticism of the Iranian authorities. After that, she emigrated to Spain and received Spanish citizenship on the eve of the World Cup. In Baku, she plays for the Spanish national team.
Due to the high rating, Sarasadat starts the fight from the second round - 1/32 finals.
Today she is dating Aulia Medina Warda from Indonesia. Indonesian in 1/128 finals defeated filipinka Frayna Janelle Mae 1.5:0.5. ---06B---
