Judit Polgar is undoubtedly the strongest female chess player in history. A chess prodigy along with her sisters, Polgar once held the record for the youngest player to attain the Grandmaster title -- among men or women. Her aggressive, tactical style has made her a fan favorite, and she has shown a willingness to play the moves that she thinks will be most difficult for her opponent's style of play rather than the objectively "best" move. Polgar has consistently played in open events rather than events exclusively for women, and has been ranked as high as 8th in the world.
The Only chess Queen is Judit Polgár (born 23 July 1976) is a
Hungarian chess grandmaster. She is by far the strongest
female chess player in history. In 1991, Polgár achieved the
title of Grandmaster at the age of 15 years and 4 months,
the youngest person ever to do so at that time. Polgár was
ranked number 36 in the world on the July 2012 FIDE rating
list with an Elo rating of 2709, the only woman on FIDE's
Top 100 Players list, Polgár is the only woman to have won
a game from a current world number one player, and has
defeated nine current or former world champions in either
rapid or classical chess: Anatoli Karpov, Garry Kasparov,
Boris Spassky, Vasily Smyslov, Veselin Topalov, Viswanathan
Anand, Ruslan Ponomariov, Alexander Khalifman, and
Rustam Kasimdzhanov.
