2:39 the colour correction of their photo is so intense that the Bulgarian flag looks more like the Russian one. I was quite surprised!

[@TheGreyfoo]

That's the devil photographers have to pay sometimes when there's mixed light temperatures to contend with :( You can see a blue shift in the colour balance on the table top (it's quite mild), but I daresay the focus was nailing the skin tones and the white of Salimova's clothes. Always better to push slightly blue than end up with a yellow cast. Going by the noise in the photo, I'd guess the light levels were low, which adds to the issue too (Adobe's 'AI' noise remover is great, but it tends to change hues slightly too). Either way, excellent spot @juanjan_ ! :)

[@hosseinmohammadi8776]

​@edwardp7725 she's GM when she passed 2500 in live rating. She wasn't officially 2500 or more, but fide changed mind by being 2500 in the official list and instead let instead if you passed 2500 on live rating it counts as 2500 norm. She reached I think 2502 live and her peak officially is 2497 which for example 20 years ago if you be that you couldn't be gm but I don't know how much time they changed mind but they allowed live rating counts. All except Salimova are GM. She is IM.

We have a proverb in Italy, " buon sangue non mente"😊 I am not sure it can be translated properly, literally it sounds " good blood does not lie" meaning Vaishali, sister of Pragu, shares the same "blood" they are brother and sister, so she is full of talent as well!

[@chunnaiyamspo5062]

My "friends at the bar and the library" loved the game!

[@O_Lee69]

I am confused, on FIDE homepage, Vaishali is "only" WGM and IM. But other sources say, she is grandmaster since december 2023.

[@shubomb]

She has fulfilled all the criteria to be a GM but the GM title is officially conferred by FIDE in their General Council meeting which is held twice in a year. She'll officially get it when it's held next.

[@animes3205]

Don't need to be confused. What you Only need to know is she is a grand master level right now
