LORA JAKOVLEVA
(born Apr-21-1932, 93 years old) Russia

[what is this?]
Lora Grigorievna Jakovleva was born 21 April 1932 in Perm, Russia. She learned to play chess at the age of 19, yet after some years she was qualified to play in the Russian (RSFSR) Women's Championship. At the age of 40 she ended 3rd in the 1st correspondence chess Ladies World Championship arranged by ICCF (http://tables.iccf.com/world/ladies...), only defeated by Gertrude Schoisswohl and the winner Olga Rubtsova. Inspired by this she went on to win the second WC title in 1977 (http://tables.iccf.com/world/ladies...). Then in 1984 she ended 3rd again (http://tables.iccf.com/world/ladies...), and in 1992 she was 4th (http://tables.iccf.com/world/ladies...). Based on this achievement she became correspondence chess Lady Grandmaster (LGM) in 1997, one of about 40 ladies to have been awarded this title.

She did not play in the first ICCF olympiad (1974-1979, Russia won), but in the next (1980-1986) she was doing well on the Russian winning team (http://www.teleschach.de/bdf/olympi...) with five wins, two draws and one loss to LGM Eva Mozna Hojdarova.

WC Jakovleva worked as a physics engineer in Perm. She has two children.

  Tabanus: Perhaps she married to a chess player? FIDE lists one Alexander Jakovlev born 1927. There is little info outside Wikipedia (English and German) and ICCF. The only picture seems to be http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped....
