Teodora Injac shines at the European Women Individual Chess Championship [Final report]

12 Apr, 2025by gprevenasΣκακιστικά νέα

Teodora Injac stunned pundits at the European Women Individual Chess Championship 2025 – starting with a missed mate in 2 and loss in the first round, she continued to 9 consecutive victories and clinching the title a round before the end. Teodora Injac’s gold is the first ever European Women Individual title for Serbia Updated list of European Women Chess Champions

Teodora Injac finished with 9,5/11, added 18,7 ELO points to her rating with performance of 2592. She finished 1,5 points ahead of silver medalist Irina Bulmaga and bronze medalist Mai Narva. However, Injac met only two GM opponents, Natalia Zhukova and Bella Khotenashvili, and thus could not complete a norm.



The success of Teodora Injac underlines an amazing generation of Serbian chess players. Last year the European Individual Champion in the open section was also from Serbia, as Aleksandar Indjic won EICC 2024. Before Injic and Injac, Serbia did not have individual gold medals on the European scene.
