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.


That "New York Mayor's Cup" was an unrated, unofficial 30-minute
exhibition event, in which Polgar picked all her opponents.

There is no doubt that if Polgar played in official competition, she
would have a good chance, but the fact remains that she has not played
since 2004 and before that she had not played since 1996.
