Nona Terenttevna Gaprindashvili is considered one of the few women of chess players holding world championship over the years. Her name is often placed in one row with outstanding masters in this sport: Fisher and Karpov. Therefore, the life path of this extraordinary woman deserves attention.
Early years of life and the beginning of chess learning
The future champion was born in Georgia in 1941. Her father at one time taught the accounting department in the technical school of the city of Zugdidi, and Mom was engaged in household and raising children. In the family, in addition to Nona, there were 5 more sons. They were all older daughters, and the first began to get involved in chess up to participation in tournaments. Thanks to him, Nona herself introduced to this game, which was the first step towards success.
For the first time, Nona Gaprindashvili tried her strength at the tournament when he replaced her brother's competition, which could not participate due to illness. It was then that she achieved success, in a short time putting a mat to the opponent who was older and experienced her. This victory did not remain unnoticed by professionals. Therefore, in 12 years, Nonna was invited to engage in school chess players. Training took place in the Tbilisi Palace of Pioneers.
The first mentor of the future champion became Vakhtan Ilyich Karsheladze. It is believed that thanks to his efforts, a women's chess school in Georgia has achieved high results. When working with Nona, he skillfully combined the functions of the coach, guardian and defender. Sometimes it was necessary during the tournaments of the young chess player due to the particularly violent reaction of observers and fans.
As skill growing, Nonona, Naidashvili was required by a change of mentor. To prepare for higher-level competitions, she used the advice of Mikhail Shishov, who was the most famous coach in the USSR. His help in the formation of young chess players was also played by Grandmaster Aivar Planslis. As a result, at the age of 15, she becomes champion Tbilisi and Georgia.
Important milestones in the career
The peculiarity of Nona Gaprindanshvili in chess has always had a goal. And as soon as she was achieved, a new one was immediate. It helped the chess player to remain the best for many years and could not leave on peace to achieve a revered age.
Becoming the best in Georgia, Nona Gaprindashvili began to prepare to conquer the world. And already at 19 years old, she paved his way to the tournament of contenders in the Yugoslav city of Varnichk-Ban (1961). Here she became the best, ahead of the chess player who took the second place for 2 points.
A year later, Nona Gaprindashvili welcomes the championship title for the first time, beating his predecessor in the tournament - Elizabeth Bykov. Thus, she became a fifth woman who received such a high status in the entire history of chess sports. From this time, Georgian chess player invariably shows high results, confirming the championship title:
- victory for fights with Alla Kushnir in Tbilisi and Riga (1965, 1969, 1972), with Nanaya Alexandria in 1975;
- first places in the USSR Championships in Chess, held among women in 1964, 1973, 1974, 1981, 1983, 1985;
- for his career, Non Gaprindashvili at least ten times became the winner of the World Chess Olympiads as part of the USSR national team;
- after the collapse of the USSR, she fell into the Georgian national team, which became the best at the Chess Olympiad in 1992.
In addition to fights with strong chess players, Nona Gaprindashvili tried his strength and in the parties among men. This direction of the career also brought its fruit thanks to the universal style of player games. In some cases, it uses debuts. In other situations, intuition comes to the rescue. According to the observations of the chess player, this feeling sometimes suggested solutions that turn the course of the game. A description of the most memorable parties is set out in a separate book created by Nona Gaprindashvili.
The blue side of Georgian chess player was always the game Blitz. Therefore, she often took part in tournaments dedicated to this kind of chess. At the same time, the time in the process of the fight on the chessboard was not always measured by hours. So, in English contest, the move was made at the alarm of the Hongue. And any delay of the player was automatically regarded as a loss. However, this was the indescribable atmosphere of the game in Misty Albion.
Among the major events celebrate victories at the side tournament in Hastings, the US Open Championship in Lohn-Paine, Reggio Emilia, Wike An-See. All this led to the fact that Nano Nanindashvili became the first of the women who received the international status of the grandmaster among men. This happened in 1978. Similar status among women was obtained in two years earlier.
Until 1990, Georgian chess player takes an active part in many major competitions. During this period of time, the victory in the interzoneal tournament in Bad Kissinger and Kuala Lumpur, as well as the second place on a similar contest in Smednevsk-Palane, is important.
For numerous achievements in the field of chess sports, Nona Gaprindashvili was prescribed by government awards. Thus, in 1965, the first regalia of the chess player was the medal "For Labor Difference", in 1966 she was awarded to the Order of Lenin, in 1985 grandmaster became the owner of the Order of the Honor Sign. And three years earlier, the Georgian woman grandmaster became the first one who was awarded the prize "Chess Oscar".
But after 1990, Nona Gaprindashvili was not going to stop at reached. Over the past years, she continued to play veterans in tournaments, earning new prizes. And many fans are sincerely rejoicing that over the years chess does not go into her life into the background.
In July 1987, the maximum rating of Nonna Gaprindashvili was recorded. It amounted to 2495 points. Now this indicator is significantly lower than the record - 2305 points, but still allows you to remain a favorite among modern chess players.

Another serious appointment was the presidency in IOC. One of the goals of this work was making decisions to develop and popularize chess in Georgia.

And in 2008, the grandmaster female began to lead the "Democratic Party of the United Georgia". In this capacity, she worked for several years.

Quotes of chess player
"I do not think my life without a plaid board and wooden figures, then silent, indifferent and monotonous, and that eloquent. temperamental and sharply unlike one to another. "
"I was compared to the rest of the participants (male tournaments) in unequal conditions and not only because men are more enduring and physically and mentally. Not only because men are desperately struggling to the last breath, taking chance with anyone who turned up chance that there are rare in women's competitions. Men definitely be ashamed to lose chess player, even if she is a world champion. They play with me with the full impact of all forces, risking even lose due to fatigue the next game ... Do you think grandmaster, meeting with a woman behind a chessboard, show at least a drop of gallary? No matter how! "
"I always sat inside the thought: I play because I wanted to fight only for the highest awards."
"I have nothing to hide and have nothing to modest: I did not commit such actions in the life that could not explain. And I can be proud of it. "

- Nona Terentyevna, you, as you know, love Blitz very much. What episodes associated with the Blitz are remembered most?
- In young years I played in Blitz quite well. I love and now play, and in general I still enjoy chess, but from a blitz especially. Of course, the most memorable meetings with the greatest person and chess player; Ingenious and talented, he was intellectual and with humor ... in a word, everything was in it. This is Misha Tal. And it so happened that I once played in a row in a row in England, then in Iceland. In England in different tournaments, and in Iceland in one.
In Iceland, the tour began only in a week evening. Imagine, finished the party somewhere half the second night! But what to do? The organizers wanted so because of the public, and we could not protest. There were ambassadors, among them two very cute couples, they were with us all the time, came to root. But Iceland remembered most of the fact that the Thale and I got chess and watches and blinked every day.
Once I told him: "Misha, with you, probably, it is better to play when you drunk." Usually, the drunk man always plays worse, and I wanted to use it.
And by the way, in England, a blitz tournament was arranged on the day off. We paid contributions, the prizes were made of them. There was no clock in that tournament, we played the guru. As soon as Gong beats - you need to immediately do the move, otherwise the defeat is counted. So it is more difficult to play than with a clock, you need to adapt. It so happened that five people came to the final - one winner of each semifinal. And in the first round of the final we met with the Thalem, and I won. He sacrificed the figure, but I defended my position. After that, I won all the rest of the parties and ranked first.
But in general, the Tal won in our matches. I resisted, won some parties, but the total account was in his favor. So, I wanted to win his match and so I said that I want to play with him when he drove. He said that he was not against, and once I climb him. We were at some reception in England, he drank, and then we began to play Blitz.
It was unmatched! He drank, he played in blitz so that it is impossible to approach! This I will never forget, because his ordinary game is nothing compared to how he played then! He played brilliantly, with victims, beautifully.
- Recently, I read an interview in which Liliental called the most outstanding player in Blitz Petrosyan. Tal is more famous for its achievements in Blitz. Why then Petrosyan then?
- I did not play with Petrosyan, but I can assume. Petrosyan was distinguished by his intuition. And in the Blitz, when there is no time to consider, intuition is very important. Since Liliental said so, he can be believed. Surely he played with him and saw. But I can say that Intuitively Petrosyan was superior.
- Do you consider yourself an intuitive chess player?
- Honestly, I look more like Tal. And not only in a chess plan. The USSR Championship was held in Baku. I was invited to be a guest. And there, one scientist spent psychological tests with us. All chess players he asked the same questions. It turned out that the answers of Tal and mine coincided by 98%.
In young years, I often found interesting ideas for the board. When I began to know the debut at a good level, I was no longer a world champion. Sixteen years I was a world champion, won a lot of Olympiads, while the debut was not my strongest side. On the contrary, only when I lost the title of champion, I began to seriously study the debut, Georgy Konstantinovich Borisenko helped me in this. His wife Valentina Borisenko is a five-time champion of the Union. We played together in many tournaments, and he accompanied it. I wonder how I began to work with him.
After the match with Chiburdanidze, we broke up with my coach of plaster. But after all, life does not end with the loss of title, and I was looking for a person with whom you could work on chess. I knew that there was such a young talented man Elizbar Rylava, who worked with Nanaya Ioseliani. But for some reason, their union at that moment collapsed, and he was alone. And I needed an assistant, because when two chess player work together, it is useful to both. I suggested that he fees, and he agreed.
And so, my first collection after the match with Chiburdanidze. Riveva said that the Nauma Rashkovsky, Russian grandmaster knows very well. They were friends, and he suggested him too to invite. Naum man with humor, open, has its own chic. But it turned out that he took from this collection more than gave us. I tell him: "Naum, I first see that the coach on the collection takes more than gives." And he answers: "But I will give such advice to you that you will thank me all the time." Of course, I didn't seriously react to these words.
But when the next fee came up, Rashkovsky offered us to invite Borisenko. And when he began to work with us, I realized that I had achieved everything, without knowing how to work on chess, especially over debuts. Until now, I enjoy the game due to the fact that I have my own developments in those debuts that I play. I'm leaving a little to the side, always looking for my ideas in the position. It is of great importance.
Now the technically chess players helps the computer very much, but, at the same time, you still need to move the shapes with your hands and look for your own. Everyone knows the main theory, you will not surprise anyone. Borisenko was one of those corneaev coaches who helped find their way. In their row Boleslavsky, Furman, Bondarevsky. Georgy Konstantinovich now lives in Uzbekistan, and although he is almost 90, continues to work successfully.
But, as I, not knowing the debuts, won so many parties, it means that I also worked intuition, because I could at such a sacrifice, when others would simply see her in this position. It helped me a lot. When I began to play with men, I especially got my finds. When the player applies a novelty, he immediately receives a psychological advantage. I remember the statement of Viktor Chokylty, he was the second chess player Romania, after Georgiu. From Choklet, we often played together in tournaments. And I remember how one day they applied a novelty black in Sicilian. I thought over half an hour. And it turns out that while I thought Chokytyt said to others: "Noon does not know this move, now she will think and find a refutation." And I really found a refutation and won the party. And I have enough such parties.
In 2001, I got the book of the best parties. There are three sections: short parties, parties against women and against men. This is not a single party won on the debut. I only knew ideas and sometimes could apply them. Now, when I communicate with chess players, I give them such advice: work on your debuts, look for your ideas in them. Unfortunately, they are mainly not listened. And this is a very important point.

In my book only one draw. And you know why she got there? I played in Open with Velymirovich. He sacrificed in Sicialyan a figure for three pawns and also wanted to take the fourth. I then thought about and realized that if I was slow, then he would just wish me. He has already made a long casting, he had pawns on A2, B2 and C2. I saw how you can complicate the game, and played B4-B3. After that, something incredible began, the kings moved to another flank. I had to defend, but I found incredible tactical protection. It was a year when the federation of Chess The USSR established a prize for the best party of the year, did not matter who would play, a man or a woman. I did with Velymirovich a draw, we agreed when almost nothing left on the board. After the party, we were surrounded by chess players and applauded both. Of course, the party came to the "Informant", then there was no computers. Then we analyzed this batch, did not find the win anywhere, although he had an initiative. And I received a prize - "For the Best Party of the Year."
I always had good with tactics. There was such a chess player in Georgia - BlaHidze, he became a champion of Georgia several times. In a party with him, I completely donated the F4 pawn. And then he spent a beautiful combination and put the mat. Talny liked this combination so much that he showed her Botvinnik. Tal said that this is my party, and suggested finding a solution. Botvinnik did not find. I asked Tal: Botvinnik approved the victim of the pawn? It turned out no, Botvinnik told him: "I don't even look at such pawns!"
Different styles, different attitude! I donated a pawn, because I immediately got advantage in the development and initiative on the royal flank. I sometimes thought, how did I go to mind such ideas? Apparently, it was laid in me. I consider tactics with my most strength, although there was no particular weak places anywhere.
I had an interesting meeting with Furman in Holland. He played in the men's tournament, I am in the female. Then in one day staged a common blitturer. I have fallen unsuccessfully, and Furman is good. At that moment, when we met, he walked in the leaders. And I defeated it - I donated two figures, I got everything. Then he told me: "Yes, Non Terentyevna, I did not know that you can combine so well." It hurt me - everyone knew that I was able, because all my loud victories were connected with tactics. But he was so expressed, because he was hurt, he was leading, although it was only the first half of the tournament. But still, I answered him: "It is very bad that you did not know."
After the tournament, we flew on the same plane. Balashov showed etudes, we solved them. And suddenly I hear, Fourman says me: "Nona Terentievna! I want to say that I was incorrectly expressed. Not that I do not know that you are well combining, but just forgot. "
- Of the modern style chess players, someone seems close to you?
- It's hard for me to say. I play little and therefore is not very familiar with the work of modern chess players. In order to judge, you need to know very well. I'm not playing with them now, I see only individual parties.
- Maybe someone is close among the Georgians?
- From Georgians, Dzagnidze stands out, she sees tactics, it is its strong side. But to say that we have similar styles, I can not. I can not call anyone.
- What is the situation with female chess in Georgia?
- You see what it was, we have won almost forty years in chess. Sometimes the internal world championship was held. In the final of the world championship, Georgians played, and in the semifinals, and in the quarterfinals. For the Olympic team of the Union performed by Georgians. (For example, the 1982 team looked like this: Nona Gaprindashvili, Nana Alexandria, Nana Ioseliani, Maya Chiburdanidze - M.F)
If you take my career - I was 40 years at the top. Even when he lost the title, I won a lot of tournaments. Twice then was very close to play the match for the world championship. I did not win the absolutely won positions in the last batches. Maybe then lost the concentration, or the nerves could not stand at the last moment. But from the point of view of history, it was an interesting moment when after so many years I could come back and play the match on the title of champion. But I missed this chance.
In 1982 he received the first female chess "Oscar", this prize was awarded from the results of the year.
That year I won all tournaments. In Soviet times there was a phenomenon of Georgian chess players. Therefore, even in Russia, although chess here always developed, there was no such thing. It was a real phenomenon, and therefore, so that he would ever repeat, should pass a lot of time. I, Nana Alexandria, my generation chess player continued to play at the time when new strong girls have already grown up. We continued to play, and the young tightened. Therefore, our hegemony was so stretched over time.
Only young people speak now. And you need experienced who won the championships, also played. Yes, Georgs won two years ago Olympics. But if you compare with those results that were before, it is only a particle. In general, they now do not dominate. China's more dominate, and the Russians rose. Ukraine is now very strong. But I think that our traditions will still be felt about themselves, and will appear, of course, the chess players who will be seriously aimed at the world championship.
- What is the forecast for the nearest Olympiad?
- I think, and this generation can fully achieve results in team competitions. I can not say for sure whether Georgians will be won by the Olympics in Khanty-Mansiysk. They just can fight for prizes. Everything will depend on the details. It is very important how the leader plays. Without luck, of course, too, nowhere ... Unfortunately, I will not go to Khanty-Mansiysk. I will be in Georgia, it is connected with my political affairs.
I am striking that every time the Chinese national team exhibits a new composition. Too many of them, probably.
- That is, there is no explicit favorite?
- Yes, the main feature is now in chess in that there are no stable results. There is no such thing that someone won several years in a row. All the time there is a change in winners. Therefore, it is difficult to give forecasts.
- In his election campaign, Anatoly Karpov said that now chess are in a much worse position compared to the Soviet times. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov gives other estimates. What is your opinion?
"I don't understand how you can not thank Kirsana Ilyumzhinov." My generation that has sought so many success, financially always looked weakly. We received salaries that have grabbed from month to month. Premium were small. For the World Cup I received 900 rubles. Prizes abroad were modest. This is later Fisher has achieved the prizes raised. And half of the winnings we handed over. And now look at how many women's commercial tournaments! Here is the world championship in Blitz, Serving Grand Prix. Nowadays there was nothing like that. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov raised the level of chess players on average. The first numbers can always earn. But now there are conditions not only for elite chess players. You can play chess and at the same time feed the family. Not to evaluate the made it - this is ungrateful. If we say that there are no classic long matches, then life does not allow. Chess are diminishing, now the majority are watching the parties via the Internet. Time makes your own adjustments. But the fact that many new tournaments appear, where you can show the result and earn, says that chess is not in such a bad position.
- Many are worried that the audience do not come to tournaments.
- Just other interests now. Ilyumzhinov What is to blame that the audience do not come? All now want to sit at home, watch the parties and at the same time do their affairs. Now even the qualifying tournaments pass on the Internet. I say that Ilyumzhinov did a lot for chess, just because I really think so. And how much did he spend his own money? He gave it, and not the opposite. I have always been considered an objective person, I always say what I think.
If we talk about women's chess, I couldn't earn money at one time, and Dzagnidze had already managed to buy an apartment. Rate her successes and mine. I have 12 Olympic medals, but I would never have been able to buy an apartment if the state had not issued me. Modern chess players do not play better than we played, but earn more.
But it is clear that women see that men earn much more, so this question rises. I think this difference will gradually decrease. At the FIDE Congress, the question was raised that women need to increase prizes, but not all at once. However, I can calm women: we earned less than you can earn now.
- But your generation has been fame. You were recognized on the street and find out so far. Dzagnidze is unlikely to know.
- Of course, I will find out. But to recognize, you need to be on top of many years. And you now name the chess player, which all the time wins everything? Even I need to remember who is now the world champion. Previously, all grandmasters were personalities, everyone had their own style, and the depth of the game was different.
- Now you play in the veteran world championships, last year have become a champion among women.
 |
- I once was very close to win the male championship. At the World Championships among veterans in 2005 in Italy, I played well, everything was evident. But in the decisive party with a lubernoy Spassov, he made a terrible error in the won position. This course is king on F7 still standing in my eyes! As a result, Spassov won the party and the tournament.
L. Spassov - N. Gaprindashvili

In the near future, the Constituent Congress of the New Party "Democratic Party of the United Georgia" will take place in Tbilisi, followed by an entrepreneur Badry Patarkatsishvili. The party will be headed by a five-time world champion in Chess Non Gaprindashvili. In the famous residence of the oligarch, spreading on the banks of the Kura River, held a conversation of the leader of the representative office of RIA Novosti in Georgia Besle Pipia with the legendary chess player.
Nona Terenttevna, what paths brought you to this fashionable palace, what did it become common to have a chess player and an optimal oligarch?
After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the formation of independent Georgia, I was asked me, and I agreed to lead the National Olympic Committee. He led to the Committee until 1996, but at the same time remained honorary president of the NOC. In 2004, the President of the Olympic Committee was elected Badri Patarkatsishvili. It should be noted that I really wanted to see him in this post Mikhail Saakashvili. The President personally asked the entrepreneur to take part in the revival of Georgian sports.
Without exaggeration, I can say that Badri was the Savior of Georgian Sports. He managed to stop sports emigration. After all, before that, Georgian athletes went out of the country, changed citizenship and the Olympic Games were under the flags of other states. They did not simply performed, but brought gold medals into the piggy bank. Thus, at the Olympics in Greece in 2004, Georgians won gold medals for Greece, Germany, Uzbekistan ... In short, Badri managed to reanimate Georgian sports, the athletes began to receive everything necessary for full-fledged preparation, including non-expendable monetary remuneration. If the state paid athlete for the Olympic gold medal of 25 thousand dollars, then Badri Gave 225 thousand dollars!
So me and Badri brought a sports track. And in difficult moments for him, I thought it was obliged to be next to him.
- Nona Terentievna, and what cat runs between Badri Patarkatsishvili and Mikhail Saakashvili?
This cat became the "Imedi" TV company owned by Patarkatsishvili. The power did not like to like that the criticism sounds at their address, and the structural one. The TV journalists from "Imedi" did not pass by the acute topics, paid attention to the public to loud murders, mass arrests, illegal deprivation of property of citizens and organizations, state racket of business and so on.
"Pink" revolutionaries like it, it turns out when they are extremely pond. On the part of the authorities there were attempts to climb the television company in the editorial policy, but Badri did not allow them. Then the representatives of the power structures were offered very much money so that he would sell them "Impedi", a conversation on the exchange of "Imedi" on the "Georgian Railways". Then Badri answered them: "Impedis" is my brainchild, and do not sell children. "
- What is the purpose of the new opposition party, is created, which you agreed to head?
The current presidential election has shown that the program of the Renaissance of Georgia, proposed by Badri Patarkatsishvili, sympathize hundreds of thousands of people. And it would be non-disabilities from our side to throw these people to the arbitrariness of fate. We continue our fight. Presidential program Badri "Support - breakthrough - prosperity" remains in force, and it will be implemented.
Badry Patarkatsishvili promised to spend about one billion dollars for 18 months in case of coming to power. But he did not leave the president. What people will he now cover gas costs, light, water, pay for unemployment benefits, give money and considerable - 2-3 thousand dollars - for the birth of children? Members of your party? Some unemployed in Georgia 2 million.
The scheme for assisting the population is being developed, and it will be able to receive not only members of our party.
Nona Terentievna, and pressure on you put pressure? So that you, for example, left Badri, were not engaged in politics, but chess.
To put pressure, you need a compromising. But the authorities cannot accumulate compromising on me, because I do not have it. I lived an honest and decent life. The authorities will not be able to change my position. I can only kill me.
Nona Terentievna, as happened that the girl from the little-known Georgian town of Zugdidi reached in chess record victories, which are still not surpassed in the world? You are a five-time world champion, 11 times won the Olympics, the European championship Cup twice was gained.
I was born in Zugdidi, in the city, which I love, in the teacher's family. My father Terenistry taught in the technical school accounting, the mother of Vera Grigolia was a housewife. She brought up five boys and one girl. All my brothers played chess, I watched them, sometimes allowed to play me. One day, a chess tournament among boys took place in the city house of pioneers. One of my brothers because of a cold could not take part in it, urgently searched for a replacement and offered me. I sat for the board, and the opponent, who was a few years older than me, quickly put the mat. Trainers paid attention to me.
- And your followers, future champions grow in the family?
I have a son David, he is 36 years old, works at the office of the British demining company in conflict zones. There are two grandson - Lerry 12 years, Nikolozu one and a half year old.
I don't see future champions today in the whole country. Maybe nature is resting currently in Georgia. For 40 years, Georgian chess players occupied the world leading positions. My record, really, was not biting, but he repeated his friend Georgian chess player Maya Chiburdanidze.
- Nona Terentievna, but do you manage to carve time for chess today?
I participate in various competitions, two years ago at the chess veterans tournament in Italy ranked second. Many invite me to Russia, recently was in tournaments in Siberia, in the Urals. I felt from the Russians to myself, to Georgia, the Georgian people the same warm feelings, what were in Soviet times. It's not good when our rulers conflict. Will God forgive us for this, can we explain to the Almighty, how did two Christian Orthodox countries come to such relations?
Good day, dear friend!
The popularity of women's chess is certainly not compared with men. I suspect that rarely who knows the names of all world champion. However, Nona Gaprindashvili is unlikely to be among the "unknowns". That is, several reasons.
Nona Terentievna "Smeed on the throne" 16 years (62-78 years). Agree, the term is more than solid.
She first began to play "Men's chess". Max Eywe. wrote:
"In my deep conviction of Nona Gaprindashvili surpasses the famous. Gaprindashvili game is significantly versatile, brighter. It is a chess player of a versatile plan, big creative opportunities "
She was a symbol of women's chess 60 - 70s. Significantly raising their credibility and popularity.
Start

First coach Vakhtang Karseldze , a person, in many ways, thanks to which women's chess in Georgia has reached outstanding heights.
Over time, an experienced well-known trainer connected with a talented chess player Mikhail Shishov.
Shared efforts plus talent and dedication of non-Nona, gave the truth amazing result:
At the age of 15, she wins the Georgian Championship with the result 15.5 points from 16 possible .
Career and title
