Sports career
Lena Mikhailovskaya fell into checkers by accident. Since childhood, she was fond of outdoor sports, but at age 15, health problems forced her to abandon this hobby. Arriving in 1965 to enroll in the chess section, she discovered that the section did not work that day (the coach and the team were away). She was offered to watch classes in the drafts section, and this sport became her choice for her whole life, and V.P. Agafonov became her first coach [3] .
In 1966, Mikhailovskaya, then only a first-class student, won the USSR personal-team championship among young men with the Moscow team, winning all nine games on her board, and two years later she became the champion of the USSR among girls in Russian drafts , three years after the start of classes, fulfilling the standard masters of sports . Since 1969, she advocated for the Lokomotiv Society (Moscow). In the same year, she won her first title of USSR champion in Russian drafts, first defeating last year’s champion Iraida Spasskaya in the last round, and then winning the replay for first place Yanina Augustinaite [3] , and in the next three years she regularly confirmed it.
Switching after that to international drafts , Mikhailovskaya already in 1973 won the international tournament in Amsterdam , which became the unofficial world championship . From 1974 to 1977, she became the official world champion four times in a row, including in 1975 with an almost one hundred percent result (eight wins and a draw in the last round with representative of the Netherlands Leni Tonen-Görts ). Only in 1979 she lost the world crown to Lyudmila Ilyina .
