Jun-27-03    Honza Cervenka: Lyudmila Rudenko Mar-05-06    BIDMONFA: Lyudmila Rudenko RUDENKO, Ludmila Died 5 march 1986 http://www.bidmonfa.com/rudenko_lud... _ Jul-06-08    JonDSouzaEva: Interesting article about this former World Champion here: http://www.e3e5.com/article.php?id=... Dec-29-10    kingfu: I have gone over some of her games. Like Sundance said to Butch, "She is very good!" I just wish she could have played Botvinnik or Smyslov. What difference does it make what is in your pants? Let's play Chess! Mar-18-11    BLarsen1967: a nice rare photo here (at least I'd never seen this one before),2 legends,Lyudmila R. (to the right) with Chaude de Silans,1950 http://heritageechecsfra.free.fr/im... Feb-28-13    Tabanus: The 1954 games is not her but rather the not yet listed Olga Rudenko. http://www.olimpbase.org/1954sc/195... Feb-28-13    HSOL: I assume the WGM title was introduced in the 70s, because otherwise it seems weird she won the World Championship title but wasn't awarded the WGMs title until 26 years later. Feb-28-13    Tabanus: <The 1954 games is not her> Olimpbase may be wrong here? I cannot find any Olga Rudenko elsewhere.
