Back in the 70's and 80's, before the much-publicized Polgar sisters, a quiet young lady would enter European tournament halls, stay in the background, barely noticed, until the clocks started - but when the tournaments ended, she was usually the one taking home the hardware. She defeated Victor Korchnoi at the height of his career. Now in her 60's she has won her 3rd gold medal at the 2022 chess Olympiad's. G.M. Pia Cramling - Beware of the quiet one!
