Life

Tairowa was named International Women's Champion (WIM) in 2005, Women's Grand Master (WGM) in 2006 and International Master (IM) in 2007 . She met the WIM standards in November 2003 at the championship of the Ryazan Oblast in Ryazan and at an IM tournament in Serpukhov in August 2004 , and the WGM standards at two IM tournaments held in Minsk and Vladimir in 2005 .

Tairowa suffered from lung cancer , which first appeared in 2008. After a temporary improvement, she felt so sick again from the end of 2009 that she could no longer take part in chess tournaments.

On March 16, 2010, she died of carcinoma at the age of 18.
