Nino Khurtsidze (born September 28th, 1975) is a Georgian chess player who holds the FIDE titles of International Master (IM) and Woman Grandmaster (WGM). She is one of the very few players who has won the World Junior Girls Chess Championship twice (in 1993 and 1995.)
Khurtsidze also won the World Under-16 Girls Chess Championship of 1991 in Brazil, the absolute Georgian Chess Championship in 1998 and is five times Georgian champion among women (in 1989, 1993, 2005, 2006 and 2013).

Now Nino is suffering from a malignant tumour. She underwent surgery and is scheduled for chemotherapy in Germany. She has to endure five rounds of treatment, each costing €30,000 for a total of €150,000, and so her friends are reaching out to the chess community for help.

Nino competed at the Women's World Championship in Tehran that ended a few months ago. She played really well and knocked out Natalia Zhukova in round one (annotated game below) and Nino Batsiashvili in round two, before losing to Antoaneta Stefanova in round three. Through her games and play it can be seen that she is a great fighter and we are sure that she will fight and overcome her health issues as well. All that she needs is our support.
