Hersonissos:Crete Azerbaijani chess player Narmin Abdinova has achieved a remarkable feat by winning the European champion title in the girls' under-18 category at the European Youth Chess Championship. The event is taking place in Hersonissos on the Greek island of Crete, gathering talented young players from across the continent.
