Elisabeth Pähtz (born January 8, 1985, sometimes spelt Elisabeth Paehtz) has been the strongest German female chess player since her youth.[1] In 2002, Pähtz became the World Youth Champion of the girls' under-18 age group, and in 2005, the World Junior Girls Champion.[2][3] She won the 2018 European Women's Championship in rapid chess. In 2021, she scored her third grandmaster norm; if confirmed, she will become the first German woman to earn the FIDE title of Grandmaster (GM).[4]
Early life
Pähtz was born in 1985 in Erfurt, Germany. Her father, Thomas Pähtz, is a chess grandmaster and played chess with his daughter from a young age on. At the age of nine years she won her first German championship, in the under-11 age group. In 1999 she became Germany's women's chess champion. She served as one of four advisors on the World team in the 1999 Kasparov versus The World chess match.[3]
Pähtz attended the Sport High School Dresden until 2004 where she was awarded her Abitur diploma in 2005. She plays - among others - for the Dresdner Sport Club 1898 in the German women's league and for the SC Kreuzberg in the German chess men's league.[3] As one of the strongest German female talents, Pähtz was the subject of media interest when growing up and was featured in a multitude of television shows. After High School she enlisted in the Bundeswehr, as part of the army's sports promotion group.[3]
In September 2015 she married Italian GM Luca Shytaj.[5] They separated in 2018.
International career
In 2002 Pähtz became the World Youth Champion of the girls' under-18 age group, and in 2005 the World Junior Girls Champion.[2][3]
She has played for Germany in 10 women's chess olympiads between 1998–2016. She also played for Germany in the women's World Team Chess Championship in 2007, scoring +2 =6 -0 for which she won the individual bronze medal on board one. She has also played for Germany in nine women's European Team Chess Championships between 1999–2015. She won the individual bronze medal on board two in 2001 with a score of +3 =4 -1 at León, Spain.[3]
In 2017 she won the bronze medal in the women's World Rapid Chess Championship in Riyadh.[6]
Pähtz won the 2018 European Women's Championship in rapid chess and was the runner-up in the respective blitz chess tournament.[7][8] Her performance in classic chess was also very strong and she entered the top 10 in the women's FIDE world rankings in September 2018.[9]
In 2019 she won the bronze medal in the women's European Individual Chess Championship.[10]
In November 2021 she finished second in the FIDE Women's Grand Swiss Tournament, scoring a grandmaster norm. She needs three norms to become a grandmaster, and has previous norms in 2011 and 2016, but there may be an issue with the 2016 norm; so her grandmaster title is not yet confirmed.[11][12]
