It's an old website I remembered, some joker made it.
You can type in anything and it gives you a link.

I sometimes get the urge to use it... I hope you found it a bit funny at least. ;)

Judit Polgár never acquired the Women World Chess Champion title. It's very likely she would be able to win it in the 90s but AFAIK she decided not to participate in the championship system. Susan Polgár was the champion from 1996 to 1999.

Yes, you are right with the World Title. I stand corrected I must have mixed something up. I could swear in a book that I read recently about the Polgar sisters was mentioned that Judit and Susan where both world champions but I looked it up after your comment and I guess what they referred to was either Judit's win in 1988 to become U12 Boys World Champion (as a woman) or probably her win to become Rapid World Junior Champion in Mexico in 1988 or the win to become U14 Boys World Champion in 1990. Giving me a thumbs down for my comment is a bit much though, no? I mean everything else was true!

Tip of the hat to Judit Polgar and Pia Cramling, who played only chess, not women's chess

That's false.

Pia Cramling certainly played women's chess. She played in the candidates tournaments for the women's world championships, she reached the semi-finals in the women's world championships more than once, has been European women's chess champion, played for Sweden in the women's chess Olympiad, and has won women's chess tournaments.

Pia Cramling also played in open tournaments, but did not shy away from playing women's chess.

Judit Polgar also played a few women's tournament early in her career (IIRC, mostly team events where there were men and women categories, as opposed to open and women categories).
