The 16 female players over 2500.

[Javier]

GM Judith Polgar is now below 2700.

 

Judith Polgar lost 9 rating points at the London Classic tournament which Carlsen won, and unfortunately this means that her rating will go below 2700.

Judith is now a mother with more obligations and her motivations in life have changed. She doesn't play much competitive chess any more, so it won't be easy for her to improve her rating.

 

How long will it be before another female player reaches 2700? In my opinion, it could be decades...
