Default False Claims by Polgar

samsloan writes:
Also, she has not been in the top three women in the world for 23
straight years because she is not in the top three now. She has been
largely inactive since 1992. Currently, the top three women in the
world are Judit Polgar, Humpy Koneru and Pia Cramling. Susan Polgar is
not listed since she has not played since 2004. Before 2004, she had
not played in 8 years since 1996. Naturally, during these long periods
when she is not playing, she cannot claim to be one of the "Top Three
Players" in the world.


I don't see why not. Bobby is still #1 as far as I'm concerned.

Susan scored clear 2nd in the NYC Mayor's Cup in June 2006, after
Kamsky and ahead of Onischuk, Gulko, Ibragimov, and Stripunsky:

A pretty impressive result for some who's supposedly inactive.
