Lyudmila Rudenko gained fame by taking down kings and queens but was most proud of helping to save the lives of children during World War II.

The Soviet chess master helped pave the way for women in the sport, becoming the world's second women's chess champion in 1950, the same year she became the first woman awarded the title of International Master. To honor her achievements and the many titles Rudenko collected, Google dedicated its Doodle on Friday to the chess champ on her 114th birthday.
