Bibisora spoke about bread and friendship in a conversation with Uzbek fans

Bibisora Assubayeva, a three-time world champion, held an open chat with Uzbek fans on Instagram. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

She said she loves Tashkent from the bottom of her heart and described the city's food as something whose taste she had never experienced before. "I arrived for just one day last December, but even that short trip stayed in my memory.

My closest friend is from this very city. The bread, the soup, the shashlik – everything is unique," she wrote.

Over the past two weeks, the number of Uzbek followers has grown sharply. Many are asking the athlete for a separate meeting for girls.

Bibisora is taking these requests seriously. "Letters and comments are increasing.

We'll agree soon and may meet face to face in Tashkent," she promised. The reason for chess fans' growing attention is her friendly interaction with young Uzbek grandmaster Javohir Sindorov.

The two exchange compliments and share photos with each other on social media. This sparks interest among local fans.

To some it's just friendship, while others suspect a hidden story behind it. But for Bibisora what matters is the game – her love for the board and the pieces.

According to her, every new follower brings her extra responsibility and extra inspiration.
