Abdumalik at the 2015 World Junior Championships, where she won a bronze medal

Abdumalik satisfied her first two requirements for the IM title in 2015, securing her first IM norm at the Reykjavik Open, which in turn also helped her reach the 2400 rating threshold needed for the title.[11][35] During the tournament, she defeated two Icelandic GMs, Henrik Danielsen and Héðinn Steingrímsson, and won six games in total as part of a 6½/10 overall score.[36][37][38] Towards the end of the year, Abdumalik scored 9½/13 for the second time in three years at the World Junior Championships, which were held in Khanty-Mansiysk in Russia. With this performance, she won the bronze medal, having tied with silver medallist Alina Bivol and finishing a ½ point behind the winner Nataliya Buksa. Although she lost two games, including one to Bivol, she was the only player to defeat Buksa.[39][40]

Abdumalik completed her two remaining requirements for the IM title in 2016.[35] She earned her second IM norm at the Women's Asian Nations Cup with a 5½/7 start to the tournament.[35][41] She followed this up by winning her first Kazakhstani women's national championship towards the middle of the year. As the top seed, she again scored 7/9, this time a ½ point ahead of Yelena Ankudinova in second place.[42] At the end of the year, she also won the Krystyna Hołuj-Radzikowska Memorial tournament for her third and final IM norm.

2017–2021: World Junior Champion, Grandmaster title

Abdumalik vs Jan Timman at the 2019 Hoogeveen Open

Abdumalik maintained a rating in the low 2400s throughout nearly all of 2017.[11] Although was only the 42nd highest-ranked player in a field of 118 at the Aeroflot Open B, she finished in 15th place, one point behind the winner.[49] After she lost rating points in the middle of year, in part from a third-place finish at the Kazakhstani women's national championship,[50] Abdumalik recovered by earning her first GM norm at the World Open in the United States. She scored 7/9 to finish in equal second place and won the prize for the top finisher among players rated between 2300 and 2449 by a full point. She faced six GMs and defeated three of them, including Yaroslav Zherebukh, who was rated 2642 and remains the highest-rated player she has ever defeated. Her performance rating for the tournament was 2650.[51][52][53][54] Abdumalik closed out the year by winning the World Junior Championship in Italy. As the top seed, she finished a point ahead of second place with 9½/11, clinching the gold medal in the last round with a win against Jennifer Yu.[55][56] At the Women's World Rapid and Blitz Championships at the very end of the year, Abdumalik had another top ten finish, coming in eighth place in the World Blitz event out of 100 participants behind only GMs.[57]

The following year, Abdumalik earned her final two GM norms in succession at the Karpos Open in March and the Budapest Spring Festival in April.[58][59] She scored 7/9 at the former event to finish in fifth place.[60] At the latter event, she was in contention for first place after starting with a score of 6/7 and defeating Tamás Bánusz, a GM rated 2617, but lost her last two games.[61] With all three norms, she only needed to reach a rating of 2500 to earn the GM title. She came close to reaching 2500 at her next tournament, the Open Internacional Llucmajor in Spain. Having started the event with a rating of 2484, she peaked at an unpublished rating of 2496.5 in the middle of the event before losing her next two games, the first to G.A. Stany.[62] Later in 2018, Abdumalik entered her first Women's World Chess Championship, which was played as a 64-player knockout tournament at the time. As the 15th seed, she made it to the quarterfinals. All four of her matches went to tiebreaks. Abdumalik won the first three matches against 50th seed Padmini Rout, 18th seed Zhao Xue, and 31st seed Jolanta Zawadzka in the first set of tiebreaks, played in a 25+10 rapid format.[c][63] She then was eliminated by 7th seed Mariya Muzychuk. Both players each won once in the two-game classical match, the 25+10 rapid pair, and the 10+10 rapid pair before Muzychuk advanced by winning their first blitz game and drawing the other.[64][65][66][67][68]

Abdumalik continued to maintain a rating in the high 2400s through 2019 and 2020.

FIDE Women's Grand Prix 2019–21 at Lausanne as a replacement player after Zhao Xue needed to withdraw due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. She had good results at the tournament, finishing third place out of twelve players with 6/11 and regaining 17 rating points to get back to a rating of 2478.[73][74][75]

Because of the pandemic, Abdumalik did not play another tournament until the women's national championship at the end of the year, which she won, albeit while falling to a rating of 2472.[76][77] She entered her next tournament, the fourth leg of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix in Gibraltar, needing 28 rating points to meet the threshold for the Grandmaster title. She won the tournament with a score of 8½/11, clinching victory with a draw in the penultimate round and finishing in clear first by 1½ points.[78] She also gained 33 points, and first reached a rating of 2500 after her ninth round win against Valentina Gunina, a game that lasted 133 moves and over six hours in which Gunina continued to play on in spite of the position being dead-drawn for a long period of time.[79] With this win, she qualified for the Grandmaster title at age 21. Overall, she had a performance rating of 2699 at the tournament.[80] She also reached a career-best women's ranking of No. 11 in the world.[81]

On May 30, 2022, Zhansaya Abdumalik became the champion of the Women's Bundesliga in chess, having won an early victory with the OSG Baden-Baden team.[82]

National representation

Abdumalik has represented Kazakhstan at three Women's Chess Olympiads. She made her debut at the 2014 Tromsø Olympiad in Norway on the third board, behind Guliskhan Nakhbayeva and Dinara Saduakassova, and ahead of Madina Davletbayeva and Gulmira Dauletova. Although Kazakhstan was only the 17th best out of 136 teams by average rating,[83] they finished in sixth place primarily on the strength of the performances by Saduakassova and Dauletova as the team scored 17 points (+8–2=1).[d][84] Abdumalik had an even score of 4½/9, and had the team's only win against Eesha Karavade in their third round draw against the higher-rated team from India.[85][86][87] Although Abdumalik fared better at the 2016 Baku Olympiad, Kazakhstan did not have as good of a result. The team finished in 37th with 13 points (+6–4=1),[88] below their starting rank of 31st.[89] With Nakhbayeva and Saduakassova both absent, Abdumalik played on the top board ahead of Dauletova, Sholpan Zhylkaidarova, Yelena Ankudinova, and Aisezym Mukhit. She scored 6/10.[90] At the 2018 Batumi Olympiad, Kazakhstan finished in 11th place with 16 points (+6–1=4),[91] close to their starting rank of 8th.[92] They were the only team to beat the host country of Georgia's top team, who won the bronze medal.[93][94] Abdumalik played on the second board behind Saduakassova and ahead of Nakhbayeva, Dauletova, and Assel Serikbay. She scored the best on the team with 7½/11 and had one of her team's wins against Georgia, albeit still while losing rating points overall.[95]

Abdumalik has been a member of two of Kazakhstan's Women's

Batkhuyag Munguntuul, a Mongolian WGM.[35][102] Her team also won the bronze medal behind China and Uzbekistan, and she individually won a silver medal on the second board.[2][103] Although her team did not fare as well in 2018, she still had a good performance with a score of 4½/6.[104][105][106]

Playing style

Abdumalik has a strong preference for playing 1.e4 (the

Sicilian defence (1.e4 c5), and commonly defends against 1.d4 (the Queen's Pawn Game) with the Grünfeld Defence (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5).[108]

Personal life

Abdumalik has been a student at the Innovative Technical College in Almaty, where she has studied computer programming.[4][8][dead link]

Abdumalik and her parents opened the Zhansaya Abdumalik Chess Academy in 2014. The academy has grown to have three branches with over 700 students in total.[109] Former World Champion Anatoly Karpov attended the opening of the academy, where he and Abdumalik played a four-game speed chess match. While Karpov won both rapid games, Abdumalik won one of the blitz games and drew the other.[110]

Outside of chess, one of Abdumalik's hobbies is boxing.[109] She also likes fishing,[4] and previously had swimming as a hobby when she was growing up.[5]
