 | | Penguincw: Congrats to Nazi Paikidze for her performance at the US Championships (Women) (2015). In her debut, she finished tied for 2nd with 7.5/11 (+4,-0,=7). She was the only undefeated player, and was responsible for Krush's (the winner) only loss. |

Jul-04-15 | | whiteshark: Wiki Bio update:
"Paikidze became an open International Master (IM) in 2012.[1] She finished fourth in the 2012 Georgian Women's Chess Championship. In 2013 she competed in a small number of international chess events in the United States after moving to Baltimore, USA. She then changed her FIDE Federation to the United States of America. In 2015, she made her debut in the U.S. Women's Chess Championship, finishing 2nd with 7½/11." During Dortmund commentaries it has been mentioned that she married in March (or May?) 2015 and became US-citizen.
Congrats and good luck!! |

Mar-24-16 | | mckmac: Wikipedia says that WGM Paikidze currently is studying Information Systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. |
|
Apr-20-16 | | Imran Iskandar: Based on here results so far at the 2016 US Champs, she seems to be stronger than what her rating suggests. |
|
Apr-20-16 | | jphamlore: I think it is humorous to think how mistaken some of her classmates are initially when she tells them she's from Georgia. :-) |

 | | alexmagnus: Who says one learns nothing on Chessbomb? Apparently Nazi means tender/gentle in Georgian :) (google translate translates it as <gentle>) |
|
Apr-26-16 | | Fluffy: Wins against Irina Krush with no losses in both the 2015 and 2016 USA Women's Chess Championships. That's a pretty solid performance, Nazi. Congratulations! |
|
Apr-26-16 | | zanzibar: In Farsi her first name means "cute":
http://torontolife.com/city/urban-d... I was thinking that Georgian might be somehow related to Farsi, but apparently not: <There are approximately 5.2 million speakers of Kartvelian languages worldwide. It is not known to be related to any other language family, making it one of the world's primary language families.> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kartv...

BTW- it would be nice to have a pronunciation guide for her name. Does <CG> still do those? |

|
Apr-26-16 | | Fluffy: <BTW- it would be nice to have a pronunciation guide for her name.> She speaks English well, and I saw an interview with her the other day. The interviewers pronounced her name as: NAW-zee Not NOT-see, as you would with National Socialism. |
|
Apr-26-16 | | zanzibar: Thx, <Fluffy>. How about her last name? |
|
Apr-26-16 | | Fluffy: Oversight on my part. They pronounced it:
NAW-zee puh-KID-zee |
|
Apr-27-16 | | zanzibar: Thanks again. |
|
Apr-27-16 | | ChemMac: Interesting that her two wins against Krush were each involving the King's Indian Attack, once with White and once with Black. |
