FIDE has a new chart of "World Top" lists.

Take a look at the chart for Susan Polgar:

Now, compare that with the chart for Pia Cramling:

http://www.fide.com/ratings/top_files.phtml?id=1700030

As you can plainly see, Pia Cramling has been consistently ranked as
one of the top rated women in the world in every FIDE rating list
since these charts have come out. Pia Cramling is currently rated
number 3 in the world, and has been so on the last several lists. This
is because Cramling is an active player who plays in many tournaments
every year and always keeps her rating active.

On the other hand, Susan Polgar has made the top women's list in only
one year: 2005, that because of two tournaments in which she played in
2004: The Oklahoma Challenge organized by Frank K. Berry and the 2004
World Chess Olympiad.

Those two tournaments are the only two FIDE rated tournaments in which
Susan Polgar has played in the last 11 years since 1996.

Thus, the claim that Susan Polgar has been rated in the top three
women in the world every year for the past 23 years is absolutely
false. I would expect that the Swedes will protest if Chess Life
publishes her claim.
