Tomorrow in Delray Chess with mayor

♟️ Meet the Woman Who Redefined Chess History—and Took on Netflix
Long before The Queen’s Gambit captivated audiences with the fictional Beth Harmon, Nona Gaprindashvili was already living a story far more remarkable—and real.

✨ Here’s what makes her legendary:

🎓 In 1962, she became the first woman in history to earn the title of International Grandmaster

♟️ She defeated 59 men in simultaneous matches, including 28 Grandmasters

🏆 She held the Women’s World Chess Championship title five times in a row—a record that still stands

👩‍👦 She made headlines not just for her moves on the board, but for standing up for her rights—refusing to compete when barred from traveling with her young son

🥇 At 79, she took gold at the Senior Team World Championship, proving age has nothing on brilliance

In 2022, at the age of 80, she took a bold stand for accuracy—filing a lawsuit against Netflix for the false claim that she “never faced men.” The case was settled, and Netflix issued a public apology.

Today, her legacy lives on as a true icon of resilience, excellence, and leadership in a game long dominated by men.

Nona Gaprindashvili did it all— for real, and against the odds. ♟️💫
