First Portuguese woman achieves the title of Fidemaster

Among the 569 participating players there are numerous small and big stories. One of them took place yesterday on board 21. Filipa Pipiras played with White against the big favourite GM Gata Kamsky. Kamsky tried for a long time, but Pipiras held the game to a draw and achieved a special success. She is the first woman from Portugal to reach the 2300 Elo mark and can claim the Fidemeister title. Congratulations!
