Paikidze took part with the Georgian women's team in the 2011 European team championship and achieved third place. In the German women's Bundesliga she played for SC Bad Königshofen in the 2011/12 season , and in the United States Chess League in 2012 she played for the Baltimore Kingfishers . Paikidze has held the title of International Women's Champion (WIM) since 2009.

The WIM norms at the Aeroflot Open 2008 and the Georgian Women's Championship in 2009 were also considered WGM norms, and Paikidze met a third norm in February 2010 at the women's tournament of the Moscow Open, so that in 2010 she was named the Women's Grand Master (WGM).
