The article about Chiburdanidze in the Georgian Wiki mentions the following results in men's tournaments:

1980 Georgian Championship - II

1980 Union Qualifying Tournament - II (obtained in the first League of Men's Cup Championship)

1979 Barcelona - I

1983 Dortmund - IV

1984 Athens - II-IV

I would add these to the English Wiki article, but I do not know where to find a source to verify them. Bruce leverett (talk) 03:30, 16 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sixth or seventh?

Latest comment: 6 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Was Chiburdanidze the sixth or the seventh Women's World Champion? In the 50's, Elisaveta Bykova was champion twice, from 1953-6 and from 1958-62, according to Women's World Chess Championship. If you count her twice, Chiburdanidze was the 7th, but if you count her just once, Chiburdanidze was the 6th. Which convention do we use? (I ask because an editor, @95.104.72.33:, has edited this, changing "seventh" to "sixth".) Bruce leverett (talk) 19:57, 22 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

The IP user is right. Mikhail Botvinnik won the world title back twice, but isn't considered the 6th, 8th and 10th world champion simultaneously, and Karpov is widely known as the 12th world champion. Sophia91 (talk) 21:46, 28 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
