“You’re living quietly, suspecting nothing, and then you read headlines like these…

I guess media outlets don’t care how they attract attention.”

The Kazakh media outlet Total.kz published a news story with the headline “Bibisara Assaubayeva is marrying a Grandmaster from Uzbekistan”. Sports.kz published an article titled “The Uzbekistan Chess Federation is counting on the children of Sindarov and Assaubayeva”.

Javokhir Sindarov’s grandfather, Komil Sindarov, spoke about a possible wedding between his grandson and Bibisara Assaubayeva in October. Komil is sure that the wedding between the Grandmasters will happen.
