🇰🇿 Bibisara Assaubayeva: "What Should I Do, Mr. President?" Fresh off her victory at Norway Chess Women, World Blitz Champion Bibisara Assaubayeva has publicly appealed to President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, saying she is struggling to fund her chess career despite being one of the world's top female players. "One of the strongest tournaments, Norway Chess, has just ended. I secured first place with one round to spare. My training camp before this important tournament was funded by my personal prize money and my parents' money. We still haven't paid the seconds and analysts for their help and preparation for this tournament." "The prize from the Ministry of Sports for winning a World Chess Championship is $2,000, while for an Olympic medal it is $250,000." "After my second World Championship gold medal, I was receiving a monthly salary of around $1,900. With the arrival of Minister Myrzabossynov in 2025, my salary was reduced threefold. Through the Kazakhstan Chess Federation, I have no salary and never had one." "Major events, training camps, and a lot of work lie ahead. What should I do, Mr. President?"
