Emancipation and women's chess. Would you belive that already in 1895 there was the first strickly women chess club founded in London? And that in 1860 a book „ABC of Chess“ was published and its author was woman – lady H.I. Cooke? And you can have your guess where the first women chess tournament took place. Quiz will not be to challenging and ladies too are welcome to take part. Vlastimil Hort promises that the question 'why men dominates the world of chess' won't be important and will be left for scientist to find the answer.
