About Aleksandra Goryachkina's Height

Aleksandra Yuryevna Goryachkina is one of the most prominent chess players of her generation and a leading figure in women’s chess worldwide. Born in Orsk, Russia, she was introduced to chess at an early age by her father, himself a FIDE Master and coach. Demonstrating prodigious talent from childhood, Goryachkina quickly rose through the ranks of junior competitions. She became the World Girls Under-20 Champion twice (2013 and 2014), signaling her arrival on the international stage. Goryachkina earned the title of International Master in 2013 and was awarded the Grandmaster title in 2018—an exceptional achievement for any player but especially notable among women. Her playing style is characterized by deep strategic understanding and remarkable composure under pressure. She has been a dominant force in Russian women's chess, winning multiple national championships (including five Russian Women's Championships as of 2022). Internationally, she made headlines by winning the FIDE Women's Candidates Tournament in both 2019 and again qualifying for subsequent cycles. In January 2020, she challenged reigning Women’s World Champion Ju Wenjun for the world title; after a fiercely contested match that ended tied after classical games, Goryachkina narrowly lost in rapid tiebreaks. Beyond individual events, Aleksandra has represented Russia with distinction at team events such as Chess Olympiads and European Team Championships—often delivering crucial points on top boards.

Aleksandra Goryachkina stands at 5'10.1" (178 cm), which is well above average for a female. This is 16.0 cm taller than the average height for women(5'3.8" (162 cm)).
