Nurgyul Salimova learned chess from her grandfather at four in the Bulgarian village of Krepcha. She won the European girls' under-eight title in 2011 and the World Girls' Under-12 Championship in 2015. She became Bulgarian women's champion in 2017. FIDE awarded her both the International Master and Woman Grandmaster titles in 2019. In 2023 she won silver in Bulgaria's open national championship. Her breakthrough on the world stage came at that year's Women's World Cup, where victories over Polina Shuvalova and Anna Muzychuk carried her to the final.
