Bibisara Assaubayeva, a 22-year-old grandmaster from Kazakhstan, has secured the title at the Norway Chess Women tournament with a total of 16.5 points, drawing her ninth-round match against defending champion Anna Muzychuk. Assaubayeva's lead is now unassailable, with Zhu Jiner in second place at 13 points after defeating Divya Deshmukh. Muzychuk holds third place with 12 points, having drawn all nine of her classical games in the event. Assaubayeva's performance has been remarkable, remaining unbeaten in classical chess throughout the tournament and earning her 15.2 rating points, elevating her to fifth place among women in live ratings. This victory stands as a significant milestone in her career, contrasting with her recent experience at the Women's Candidates Tournament in Cyprus, where she finished tied for first but was overtaken in the final round. Her success in Oslo reflects a more relaxed approach, contributing to her impressive results.
