Judit Polgár, the chess master taught to beat men The Netflix documentary ‘Queen of Chess’ does a good job of showcasing Polgár’s talents, but fails to examine the fact that she never went to school or that there were very few women in the sport

“Barrier Breakers”

Olga Rubtsova became the first woman World Chess Champion in 1950.

She proved strategic genius isn’t gendered.

Checkmate to every ‘women don’t think logically’ joke.

The teams in the Spartakiade of 1958 consisted of six men, two women and two juniors - a boy & a girl. 17-year-old Nona Gaprindashvili represented Georgia of course. #globalchessleague #TechMGCL #WomenInChess ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%...

📖♟️ The book that helped shape a World Champion?!
For 🇨🇳 Hou Yifan it’s Bobby Fischer’s "60 Memorable Games" — pure chess legacy in one book.
