Born on 16 February 1906, Vera Menchik 🇨🇿 will always be remembered as the first-ever Women’s World Chess Champion — a true pioneer of women’s chess.

🔹 Dominance Like No Other

Vera first won the title in 1927, and her reign lasted an incredible 17 years! During this time, she played 78 wins, 4 draws, and only 1 loss — a record of consistency and supremacy that is hard to imagine in modern chess.

🔹 Taking on the Best

Her skill wasn’t limited to women’s chess. She faced top male players too — including Max Euwe, against whom she had a 2-2 score with 1 draw. Imagine a woman competing at the highest level in an era dominated by men — and thriving!

🔹 A Legacy That Transcends Time

The Grandmaster title was just emerging during her era, with criteria not fully formalized. If Vera played today with her incredible results, she would undoubtedly have earned the Grandmaster title.

Her record as the Women’s World Chess Champion is legendary and likely to remain unmatched for decades.
