Excellent performance of Klaipėda University student at the Chess Olympiad  

Marija Šibajeva, a student at Klaipėda University (KU), participated in the 45th Chess Olympiad with the Lithuanian women’s team in Budapest, Hungary, on September 10-23. The result of the Lithuanian women’s team was 13 team points and 41st place out of 171.   

“Maybe the overall team result wasn’t as good as we wanted, but I’m very happy with my personal result. I played 9 games and scored 7 points. I won 6 games, 2 times I got draw, but in the last round I felt very tired and had to concede to my opponent. It was a great honor to represent Lithuania for the third time in my life in such an event and to score a lot of points for the team with personal victories”, KU student Marija Šibajeva shared her thoughts after her successful performance.  

KU student Marija Šibajeva is a multiple participant and prizewinner of national and international chess championships.
