Judit Polgar has played for Hungary's Open team at eight Olympiads, including two on top board ( although those did not go so well ). This has not been very unusual for a female player over the years. I was commenting that two women playing against each other in the Open section has, I believe, happened on only one occasion.John McKenna wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 6:06 pmIn October and November 2002, Polgár played on second board (with Péter Lékó on first) for Hungary in the 35th Chess Olympiad.
That's what I thought.
