One of the most searched for personalities on TSN, Laura Unuk has already made her mark on the global chess scene, having won the under-16 and under-18 World Championships. While you can study some of her games here, this video is an interview that’s conducted in Slovene but has good English subtitles (just hit the CC button if they don’t play automatically).
You’ll hear her describe how she got started in chess, the physical aspects of the game, her ambitions, and her view of women as players. Although not yet a Grandmaster, at just 19 years old Ms Unuk’s got plenty of time to make the move up from Woman International Master, and we'll do our best to follow her progress in the years ahead.
