Vera Menchik, the first Women's World Chess Champion, successfully competed against male players in an era when women rarely did. The "Vera Menchik Club" humorously included any master-level player who lost to her, featuring giants like Max Euwe and Samuel Reshevsky. Menchik's achievements paved the way for future generations of female chess players.
