![]() ![]() The title text mentions her specifically because of the club named after her: The "Vera Menchik Club". She, her sister, and mother were killed in a V-1 flying bomb attack which destroyed their home in 1944. In January 1926 she won the first Girls' Open Championship at the Imperial Club in London, but as can be seen in the last panel she was killed near the end of World War II, 38-year-old, while still holding the title of women's world champion. The title text mentions Vera Menchik who is also the first female chess player listed at the left of the bottom panel. This can all be seen in the data tables below. The only ones that have managed this with three years or less (on the chart) are those that begin the chart, and thus could have been no. 1 for four years, without being upgraded to a red curve. ![]() It seems like it has to be at least five years, as there are at least two players that have been no. There can be more than one red path at a time, but only because the dominating player has played before or after they became dominating. If a player has been the best player over a longer time period (a seriously dominating player) then their career path will be drawn in red, the rest are in gray. Included are mainly players that could be said to have been among the dominating players at some time in their career. The charts show the players career paths as a function of time with the rating on the y-axis. Elo was adopted by the World Chess Federation, FIDE, in 1970, so the rating is extrapolated backwards in time (among other methods, such as using Kenneth Regan's computer analysis - as written in the Chess panel) and are thus shown as dashed lines prior to 1970. Note that that player efficiency ratings and similar "aggregate scores" are the subject of much discussion in basketball due to known deficiencies.įor chess, it uses the Elo rating. For chess, there is an overall chart, and a women's chart.įor basketball, it uses the player efficiency rating (PER), the most commonly used player statistic.
