Happy 85th birthday to Nona Gaprindashvili, the first woman ever to be awarded the Grandmaster title! 🎂 🎉

Nona Gaprindashvili had a stellar career, reigning as the Women’s World Chess Champion from 1962 (age 21) to 1978. She won 25 medals in Women’s Chess Olympiads and triumphed in major open tournaments like the Hastings Challengers in 1963/4. In 1995, she became the only Women’s World Chess Champion also to win the Women’s World Senior title, which she claimed multiple times.
