Ukrainian Grandmaster Anna Olehivna Muzychuk (pictured above right) was awarded, among others, the “Mujeres que Brillan” (“Shining Women”) award — a prize offered by Iberdrola to women who fight for their rights and gender equality — during an awarding ceremony at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, Spain on February 22, 2018. Last December, Muzychuk abdicated her double crown of Women’s World Rapid & Blitz Chess Champion by boycotting the King Salman World Rapid & Blitz Championships in Saudi Arabia over women’s right.

Since then, Muzychuk (seated left in the above pic) has picked up audiences and awards here and there in Spain, but still nothing substantial enough to change the chess world. Paradoxically speaking, at the end of her experience, she could even find out that changing the world is much easier than changing the chess world. Photo: Elisa Ventoso/The Luxonomist.
