Pia Cramling

Pia Ann Rosa-Della Cramling[1] (born 23 April 1963) is a Swedish chess grandmaster.

According to Cramling, one explanation for this is that the World Championship is a team effort and more prominent chess nations are able to give their players better support in important events.

[6] In team competitions, Cramling represented Sweden in the Chess Olympiad in both the open and women's events, European Team Chess Championship in both open and women's sections, Telechess Olympiad and Nordic Cup.

In the Women's Chess Olympiad, she has won the individual gold medal as the best player on board 1 (according to the rating performance) in 1984, 1988 and 2022.

Their daughter, Anna Cramling Bellón, is a Woman FIDE Master and a chess YouTuber and Twitch streamer.
