FIDE player card for Rani Hamid

RANI HAMID (born Jul-14-1944, 80 years old) Bangladesh [what is this?] Mrs Rani Hamid (nee Sayeda Jasimunnessa Khatun) was born in Sylhet, 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.

Nov-08-18    sonia91: Oldest player of the Women's World Championship KO (2018) at 74 (!). Sep-29-19    wordfunph: impressive.. May-05-20    wordfunph: from NICM 2019 #8 <Rani Hamid is a big fan of Viswanathan Anand and visited his World Championship match against Magnus Carlsen in India in 2013. More than 35 years ago, she had the opportunity to play against him at the Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed tournament in New Delhi. 'Anand was a young boy, and he was playing at lightning speed; he used to win in no time against his opponents, but our game was taking much longer than usual; I remember his mother getting a bit restless and worried because of that. I was an exchange up at one stage, but Anand, of course, won.'> Jan-30-24    SkySports: "She started playing competitive chess at the age of 34". That's really impressive, considering she got to a peak rating of 2189.
