The International Chess Federation (FIDE) awarded Uzbekistan’s talented chess player Sarvinoz Begmuratova, in women’s chess, the FIDE Master of Sport title. This is not just news — it is a truly historic achievement.
The point is that Sarvinoz earned this title at just 12 years old , setting a record in the history of Uzbek chess as the youngest female FIDE Master of Sport . In other words, she entered the “adult league” on the chessboard while still of school age.
For context: this record had already been considered highly impressive. In 2019, Umida Omonova received the title at age 13. Now Sarvinoz has not only matched the result at an even younger age, but also drawn a new line in history.
Achievements like this say one thing: Uzbekistan’s chess school is getting stronger, and the new generation is arriving not by “waiting their turn,” but with results right away. What fans are most curious about now are Sarvinoz’s next steps: international tournaments, rating growth, and new titles. In chess, “one move” can change everything — and Sarvinoz has already started a big game.
