Pia Cramling

Pia Cramling is one of the most respected and enduring figures in international chess – a grandmaster who has remained among the world’s top female players for decades.

Few players can match Cramling’s longevity at the highest level. Over the course of her career, she has not only been one of the strongest women in the world, but at times also ranked among the very best players globally, regardless of gender. Her consistency, professionalism, and deep positional understanding have made her a role model across generations.

Even in recent years, she continues to perform at the highest level. At the 2022 Chess Olympiad, she delivered the best result on board one, once again proving her strength on the biggest stage. In 2025, she became the first Swedish player to be inducted into the FIDE Hall of Fame – a historic recognition of her extraordinary career.

At ChessParty, Pia Cramling will take part in a special on-stage conversation together with Judit Polgár and Anna Cramling. The three will explore the development of women’s chess, challenges in recruitment, and what the future of the game might look like.

Bringing together elite experience, pioneering achievements, and modern perspectives on the game, this conversation offers a rare opportunity to gain insight into how chess continues to evolve.

Whether you are an aspiring player or simply curious about the future of chess, this is a session not to be missed.
