  • Historias De Reinas Del Ajedrez
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Historias de reinas del ajedrez Mientras transcurre en Nalchik, Rusia, el campeonato mundial femenino de ajedrez 2008, JR les propone un acercamiento al origen y desarrollo de estos eventos Publicado: Domingo 31 agosto 2008 | 12:57:14 am. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde Como en casi todas las facetas de la vida, mujeres y hombres tienen también una historia diferente en el ajedrez. De ello nos percatamos nuevamente por estos días, mientras desempolvamos algunos archivos para complacer a los lectores que nos solicitan una panorámica de los campeonatos mundiales femeninos celebrados hasta la fecha. Muchas son las versiones que se cuentan, pero acaso la más aceptada sitúa el origen de estos certámenes en 1927, junto con la Olimpiada masculina del juego ciencia celebrada en Londres. La primera campeona fue Vera Menchik. Esta mujer nació el 16 de febrero de 1906 en Moscú, Rusia, pero a los 15 años se mudó para Inglaterra con su familia y representó a este país en todos los torneos que disputó desde entonces. Ganó los nueve campeonatos mundiales en que participó (siete torneos y dos duelos) y en estos jugó 101 partidas. Obtuvo 87 victorias, con 11 tablas y solo 4 derrotas. Menchik retuvo el título hasta su muerte, ocurrida el 27 de junio de 1944, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando una bomba nazi destruyó su residencia en Londres. Después comenzó la hegemonía de las rusas, con Liudmilla Rudenko, Elizaveta Bikova y Olga Rubtsova. Más tarde reinaron dos georgianas, Nona Gaprindashvili y Maia Chiburdanidze, hasta que la china Xie Jun irrumpió en 1991 y marcó el territorio para su país.
