One of the bloggers said that according to the unofficial calculation, by gaining points in her last tournaments, Humpy’s next rating should be around 2599. I am rooting for her to break the 2600 mark. I also expect Yifan Hou to join the 2600 mark in the near future.
Good for Humpy!
Felicitations Humpy!
Now next goal will be 2700!
Humpy rules!! 🙂
Of course women players still have ‘a lot to prove’ !!
They have many goals still! Like breaking the 2600 barrier, breaking the 2700 barrier, become the world champion in the men’s section,…
Susan,
According to chessbase, Humpy, if she reaches 2600, would be only the second woman to do so. I vaguely recall that you would have had a 2600 rating, had a hundred points not been taken away as an “adjustment.”
Is this the case, or was your rating never, potentially, over 2600?

Susan was never over 2600
Only Judit did that. And now Humpy perhaps.
I always wished Judit would become World Champion (in men’s section) but i kinda gave up hope on that….
She is very good, but has other things in life… like children.
Let’s hope a new generation of women players might be able to go for the crown!! :)) i would love to see a woman as the one and only World Champion! Now that would be amazing!!! :))
