Post by Simon Rogers » Fri Jul 09, 2021 2:14 pm

I am sorry to report that Cuban Women's International Master, Asela de Armas Perez died on 7th July 2021, at the age of 66.
She was born on 6th December 1954 and was awarded the title of Women's International Master back in 1978.
She was ten-times winner of the Cuban Women's Championship (1971,1973,1974,1975,1976,1977,1978,1979,1986 and 1988).
She also played either board 1 or board 2 for Cuba at the Women's Chess Olympiads of 1984,1986,1988, and 1990.
After retiring from competitive chess, she taught and coached chess to young people in Venezuela.
RIP
