RANI HAMID (born Jul-14-1944) Bangladesh [what is this?] Mrs Rani Hamid (nee Sayeda Jasimunnessa Khatun) was born on the 14th of July 1944 in Synhet, Bangladesh and started playing competitive chess at the age of 34. Awarded the WIM title in 1985 she was joint British Women's Champion (with Helen Milligan) in 1983, and sole champion in 1985 and 1989. She has won the Bangladesh Women's Championship a record 21 times, although only 18 are recognised by FIDE due to Bangladesh's late recognition by the world federation. Hamid has represented her country on the women’s team at every Women’s Olympiad since 1986 except for 1988 and 1992, playing board 1 on nearly every occasion. She also represented Bangladesh at the Olympiads in 1984, 1988 and 1992 at boards two and three on the men's team.
