Cathy Warwick (née Forbes) (born 6 February 1968) is an English chess player and writer.
She was awarded the title of Woman International Master, but resigned it 15 years later in protest at the whole principle of having separate "inferior" women's titles (although she is not in principle opposed to women-only tournaments).
They include the first full-length work on the Polgár sisters, published in 1992 shortly after Judit Polgár broke Bobby Fischer's record as the youngest grandmaster, and a 1993 biography of Nigel Short, a leading British player who was for a time ranked world No.
[1] In her role as a chess journalist, Warwick covered the 1992 match between Fischer and Boris Spassky in Yugoslavia.
[2][3][4] She was also part of Channel 4's coverage of the 1993 World Championship match between Short and Garry Kasparov held in London, and has appeared on the TV quiz show Eggheads.
