@BowsacNoodle @narada @Will2Power @Fullycaffeinated Judit Polgar has been ranked as the world's number one female chess player for 23 years
Judit Polgar has defeated nine world champions including Garry Kasparov, Boris Spassky and Viswanathan Anand, and is the only female ever to join an exclusive coterie of players rated above 2700 by the World Chess Federation.
When Polgar won the Boys Under 14 section of the World Youth Chess Festival in 1990, one columnist wrote approvingly that it was easy to forget that Polgar was " just a girl."

In 2002, Polgar finally defeated Garry Kasparov, who had previously described her as "talented but not greatly talented,'' explaining that "women by their nature are not exceptional chess players ... not great fighters," in a 1990 interview with The New York Times.
But in a game Polgar described as "one of the most remarkable moments" of her career, she won in 42 moves.
Kasparov later credited the Polgars' career success in a chapter on anti-complacency tactics in his book, "How Life Imitates Chess."
"By seeking out and often besting the toughest competition," he wrote, "the Polgars showed that there are no inherent limitations to their aptitude -- an idea that many male players refused to accept until they had unceremoniously been crushed by a twelve-year-old with a ponytail."
"My sister Susan -- she was 16 or 17 -- said that she never won against a healthy man. After the game, there was always an excuse: 'I had a headache. I had a stomach ache.' There is always something" aw pua males
Judit Polgár in 1991 achieved the title of Grandmaster at the age of 15 years & 4 months, the youngest person ever to do so at that time. She first defeated an International Master, Dolfi Drimer, at age 10, & a Grandmaster, Vladimir Kovacevic, at age 11. She also had to face prejudice because of her sex. "She has fantastic chess talent", said Kasparov. "but she is, after all, a woman. It all comes down to the imperfections of the feminine psyche. No woman can sustain a prolonged battle
