Description

Photo of GM Maia Chiburdanidze, in b/w, 17,5x24 cm, personal photo taken with a Nikon F2 camera.

Maia Chiburdanidze (born 17 January 1961) is a Georgian chess Grandmaster. She is the sixth Women's World Chess Champion, a title she held from 1978 to 1991, and was the youngest one until 2010, when this record was broken by Hou Yifan. Chiburdanidze is the second woman to be awarded the title of Grandmaster by FIDE, which took place in 1984. She has played on nine gold-medal-winning teams in the Women's Chess Olympiad.

In Thessaloniki 1988, she played in the 1st board with the USSR team. It was the year that Hungary -with the 3 sisters Polgar and Madl- emerged first (in the women's Olympics), breaking the Soviet team's streak.
