Question

Has a woman ever held the world title for chess?

Answer 1

In Chess, there are separate World Championship titles for Men and Women.

There's never (so far) been a time when the Women's World Champion was as strong a player as the Men's World Champion.   It's actually very rare for a woman to be ranked among the top 10 players in the World.

So far, no woman has ever been ranked #1 in the world among all (male and female) players.

Answer 4

No, not yet.

Answer 5

No.  Until 1920 they could not vote in most of the US.  Currently most women have to cover their face and stuff.  If Earth population is 6 billion then 3 billion guys have a shot, but only the women from North America, Europe, and Australia.
