The capital of Kazakhstan successfully concluded the inaugural Team Championship of Turkic States alongside the Youth Chess Olympiad for players under the age of 16. The high-profile event, structured under a comprehensive round-robin format, saw intense strategic matches among national teams representing six regional countries over four days.

The open tournament featured an exceptionally elite lineup, drawing more than 30 grandmasters and international masters to the tables. The leading players of the Turkmenistan national squad demonstrated outstanding strategic resilience, ultimately securing a well-deserved third-place podium finish on the top board.

The women's and junior categories similarly showcased top-tier performances from the national contingent. Competing on the third and fourth boards, the female athletes delivered highly technical games against formidable opponents, generating one silver and two bronze individual medals for the national delegation's final tally.

Sanctioned by the International Chess Federation (FIDE) in coordination with Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports and local municipal bodies, the high-stakes event carried significant institutional weight. The total prize fund designated for the tournament outcomes reached an estimated 54,000 USD, sponsored by a major financial holding corporation.
