Chess player Laura Unuk has become the first Slovenian woman to win the International Master title awarded by the international chess governing body FIDE, the second highest-ranking title in chess. Unuk won the title by bagging a victory at the chess tournament Mediterranean Flowers in Croatia’s Rijeka on Tuesday.
“I only needed this rating and I finally made it,” said the 21-year-old student of chemistry and chemical technology, who has entered the tournament as Woman Grandmaster.
