In the history of chess, Pia Cramling is one of the names the record keeps returning to.
The record lists Pia Cramling as Swedish chess player.
Pia Cramling was born at Stockholm in 1963. Her recorded nationality is Sweden.
Twenty questions, eight minutes on the clock, and a percentile measured against everyone who has taken it. No sign-up.
Take the IQ test →By this period sport was fully international, televised and politicised, and an athlete's reach extended far past the field of play.
Over the course of the career Pia Cramling turned out for Évry Grand Roque.
She competed at 29th Chess Olympiad, 30th Chess Olympiad and 32nd Chess Olympiad.
Athletic careers are short and pitilessly measured, which is what makes the great ones legible.
Her record includes the Chess Oscar.
That the career was built from Sweden matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
What survives is the record itself - times, placings and titles that later competitors still measure themselves against.
