Nona Gaprindashvili (Georgian: ნონა გაფრინდაშვილი; born 3 May 1941) is a
Georgian chess player, the sixth women's world chess champion (1962–1978), and
first female Grandmaster. Born in Zugdidi, Georgia (then part of the Soviet Union),
she was the strongest female player of her generation.
In 1961, aged 20, Gaprindashvili won the fourth women's Candidates Tournament,
setting up a title match against Russian world champion Elisabeth Bykova. She won
the match easily, with a final score of 9-2 (+7−0=4), and went on to defend her title
successfully four times: three times against Alla Kushnir (1965: 10–6; 1969: 12–7;
1972: 12–11) and once against fellow Georgian Nana Alexandria (1975: 9–4). She
finally lost her crown in 1978 to another Georgian, 17-year-old Maia Chiburdanidze,
by a score of 6½–8½ (+2−4=9).
Gaprindashvili played for Soviet Union in the Chess Olympiads of 1963, 1966, 1969,
1972, 1974, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1990, and for Georgia in 1992. She was
one of the contributing players of the USSR team that dominated the women's Olympiads of the 1980s. She won as many as 25 medals, among which 11 team gold medals and 9 individual gold medals. At the Olympiad of Dubai 1986 she won all the ten
games she played.
She was a five-times winner of the Women's Soviet Championship: in 1964, 1973,
1981, 1983, and 1985.
During her career Gaprindashvili successfully competed in men's tournaments, winning (amongst others) the Hastings Challengers tournament in 1963/4 and tying for
first place at Lone Pine in 1977, earning a grandmaster norm.
In 1978 Gaprindashvili became the first woman to be awarded the Grandmaster title.
She was awarded the title after scoring two Grandmaster 'norms' totaling 23 games,
the last of which was winning Lone Pine 1977 against a field of 45 players, mostly
grandmasters. Although she did not meet the technical requirements for the GM title,
which required 24 games, by exceeding the GM 'norm' requirement in Lone Pine,
FIDE found her results equivalent to 24 games and made her the first woman Grandmaster. Not until Zsuzsa Polgar did another woman achieve the Grandmaster title
through regular tournament play.
In 1975 she had a perfume named after her.
In 2005, at age 64, Nona won the BDO Chess Tournament held in Haarlem, the Netherlands with a score of 6.5/10 and a performance rating of 2510.
In 2009 she won in Condino, Italy the World Senior Championship for women.
