Zhukova, Koneru, and Stephanova all had fantastic results. Here are the top 5 finishing women in Gibraltar. In fact, Zhukova is inching closer to 2500 by gaining over 30 rating points. She will become a GM when she can reach this mark.

Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Can Kamsky get back to 2700?
Susan as an Ultramodern practioner i havent followed the “women’s game” merely because it has no place in “the new chess” however, i would like to know if it more difficult for a woman(lil sister} to reach the top 10 ,lets say 2700+ or for a man to win fide’s world title? Perhaps she may have already supercede our limited understanding of the game we know as CHESS?
does anyone know what tournaments that Judit Polgar will be in coming up.
How come Kosteniuk didn’t even finish in the top 5. What kind of chess queen is that?

Will you be having a monthly adult tournament in Lubbock Texas?
well its an open forum anon, so i simply asked is it harder(psychologically- you know with all the tricks) for a female to make it to 2700 in an “all men’s competion”, or for some guy to make world champion with perhaps better conditions? whats not to understand? The traditionalist are claiming to know errthing so UM just askin questions right now.
