Aug-09-07  alexapple: any one can help me?
How to pronounce her family name?
Mar-20-08  alexapple: How to pronounce "Dzagnidze"?
Mar-20-08  Tomlinsky: Zag-Nid-Zah should be in the ballpark I believe.
Nov-17-08  whiteshark: Nana Dzagnidze @ Dresden 2008:
http://chessbase.de/2008/dresdenoly...
Dec-05-08  whiteshark: Grandmaster title (men) approved to her at the 79th FIDE Congress which was held 16-26 November 2008 in Dresden, Germany.

Congratulations!

(She is from Georgia.)

Oct-02-09  Billy Vaughan: Carlsen's on god-mode and he's the one making the news, but Dzagnidze isn't doing bad either with 4/4 in the women's side.

  Open Defence: she lost today against Sebag

http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...

Jul-02-10  nikolajewitsch: She is having quite a run at the Women's GP in Jermuk with 7.5/8, leading the field by 1.5 points - very impressive. At this point, anything else than a clear win would be a surprise, 3 draws in the last 3 rounds should suffice.
Jul-02-10  Mr Snuffleupagus: Amazing! You're wreaking havoc at the oppositions with your ferocious attack and defense!
Jul-05-10  Mr Snuffleupagus: Congratulations!

A sure-fire winner of Jermuk, 2010...

Jul-05-10  wordfunph: incredible 9/11! congrats GM Nana for winning Jermuk!

http://www.chess-results.com/tnr351..., congratulations! http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...

Feb-04-11  bronkenstein: GZ Nana , almost 2700 performance @ Gibraltar =)
Feb-24-11  paavoh: Very impressive run of performances by Dzagnidze (junior WC, Jermuk, Gibraltar) and now a great start 2/2 at Grand Prix!

A future Women WC, perhaps?

Feb-28-11  paavoh: Perhaps I jinxed her: three losses since my previous post... Sorry!

  Penguincw: Happy 27th birthday GM Nana Dzagnidze!
Dec-11-14  fisayo123: Barely any comments here? She's really underrated.
May-17-15  waustad: She's the highest rated player in this year's European Women's Championship. Many of the usual suspects are missing, such as former winners Cmilyte, Cramling, and Kosintseva.
Apr-22-17  CountryGirl: Just got into Nana's games. Am liking what I'm seeing.
Apr-26-17  sonia91: She won the European Individual Championship (Women) (2017).

Unfortunately her father passed away some days ago, but her relatives didn't let her know until she won the championship. From http://chess-news.ru/node/23070&usg... <"The biggest success and the most bitter loss came at the same time," Dzagnidze wrote on her Facebook page.> (via Google translate)

Jul-15-17  sonia91: She will play in the World Cup as one of the organiser's wild cards: http://www.fide.com/images/stories/...
