It's the first time a trans woman wins the French Chess Championship, and the second time in history that a trans woman wins a national title, after Annemarie Meier who became Women's German Champion in 2003!

I hope my victory inspires young trans chess fan to keep playing while they transition.

Huge congrats to @serachessqueen.bsky.social on becoming the second trans Woman International Master!

Your Mother is proud, Séra. 💜

Yosha Iglesias Is Chess.com Coach of the Month for May 2025 How important is a passion for the game for the chess student and coach?

I'm Chess.com Coach of the Month for May 2025!

I talk about myself and "passion, pedagogy, kindness, and other keys to chess improvement."

I was named one of Forbes’ 40 most inspiring and influential women in France.

Did I shed a few tears during my speech? Of course I did.

But the audience was moved to tears too, and my speech received the loudest applause.

What an incredible night!

I'm getting my gender-affirming surgery in two stages—the first operation on April 7, 2025, and the second in late 2026.

I can't cover the full cost alone, so I’ve started a GoFundMe.

If you can donate or simply share this post, it would mean the world to me. 🙏

The teddy bear kid made her 2nd Woman International Master norm, the champagne mom made her 2nd Woman Grandmaster norm ! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️

I finished 2nd, unbeaten with 5.5/9 and won 41 Elo points to come back above 2300!

Congrats @serachessqueen.bsky.social!

911, I'd like to report an infanticide.

Séraphina outplayed me but not everyone can beat their mother and she blundered.

I feel like bad bitch Elektra after beating poor Blanca. (That's for the 5 chess players who have watched Pose)

Je ressens un niveau de honte absurdement élevé, je sens que cette nuit va être riche en larmes et émotions négatives, c'était tellement indigne de ma part cette partie, j'ai même pas envie de me regarder dans la glace

Today my daughter, tomorrow my opponent.

Séraphina and I are on our way to play a strong closed-tournament in Rouen (among some GMs, IMs, WGMs and kid prodigies)

We play each other on the first round tomorrow!

Ca va vous?
