Life

Lyudmila Rudenko was born on July 27, 1904 as the daughter of a city councilor and later public prosecutor. In 1925 the Lubny family moved to Moscow . Here she took part in her first chess tournament, which was hosted by Komsomolskaya Pravda , but only achieved the last place. As a result, she studied chess theory and became a Moscow chess champion in 1928. In 1929 the family moved to Leningrad. In Leningrad she trained under the chess masters Pyotr Arsenjewitsch Romanowski and Grigori Jakowlewitsch Löwenfisch and became city champion in 1932. Seven more wins in the Leningrad City Championship followed. In 1936, 1945, 1947/1948 and 1953 she was the Soviet runner-up.

During the Leningrad blockade in 1944, she organized the evacuation of children from the city.

After the death of world chess champion Vera Menchik in a German V1 attack during the Second World War in 1944, there was a tournament for the vacant women's world championship title in the winter of 1949/1950 . Rudenko won the tournament among 16 players with 11.5 points from 15 games ahead of Olga Rubzowa , who reached 10.5 points. This made her the second world chess champion in FIDE history . Because of winning the World Championship, she received the title of International Master from FIDE in 1950 .

In 1952 she became the Master of the Soviet Union . In 1953 she lost the world title again in a competition against Jelisaveta Bykowa with five wins, two draws and seven defeats. In 1957 she received the Badge of Honor of the Soviet Union ( Знак Почёта ) for her contribution to the development of chess in the USSR. In 1976 she received the title of Women's Grand Master (WGM) from FIDE.

Lyudmila Rudenko, who was never outside the Soviet Union, died on February 26, 1986 in Leningrad. On the occasion of her 114th birthday, she was honored with a Google Doodle on July 27, 2018 .
