In her interview with the glossy publication, Khadem recounts her own inspiring and incredible story and also posed for a photoshoot featuring herself with a chessboard. She described how her love of chess grew as an eight-year-old. “I liked it from the very beginning,” she said. With a nod to International Women’s Day, she also paid tribute to all the women who have inspired her, including her grandmother as well as the strongest female chess player of all time, GM Judit Polgar.
