This Week's World Chess Column: Remembering Vera Menchik
Friday, February 19, 2016 at 4:52PM
With the Women's World Championship coming up at the beginning of March, a look back at the first great female player seemed an apt subject for this week's World Chess column. While not a player of the level of a Judit Polgar or Hou Yifan, she was a very decent player with a sharp eye for tactics. Have a look.

Hou Yifan is 3-time Women World Champion, not 2-time WWC. She won the world title in 2010 (KO tournament), 2011(defeating Humpy Koneru) and 2013 (Defeating Anna Ushenina).
