Don't forget Judit was well into the 2700's so you have to wait till Yifan is at her actual peak to see. Judit was rated #14 in the world at one time. Right now Yifan is rated #68 in the world.

Could be wrong but I think Judit cracked the top 10 at one or more times.

Longtime contender, great chess mind, very underappreciated. Glad to see others admire Korchnoi.

Korchnoi had an even score against Fischer (2-2-4); not many could claim that.

Another underappreciated player was Geller (who, I think, had a lifetime plus score against Fischer); even fewer could claim that.

In 2005 Polgar was rated #8 in the world...ELO 2735.

in RHP the female top player is caissad4

AliceWD is stronger I believe. I have lost to both her and caisssd4, many times to Caissad4.

You don't know someone is female just because "Alice" is their handle.

Could be a fan of Alice in Wonderland, for all you know.

Remember, ratings are inflated somewhat. Judit was ranked 8th in the world at one point. I doubt Yifan will get that high.

Fair point but i was going of Her/His profile and having played her a couple times and chatted i was under the impresion that AliceWD is a female. I stand corrected if i am wrong.

I'm not saying you should discount the possibility that Alice is female. I'm just saying it's easy to lie on the internet.

AliceWD might be Alice Cooper.

I hear he quit doing drugs and became a Christian. "WD" probably means "WithDrawal".

So he's a Catholic?
