GM play from the 1980s has been refuted by computers available to 1400
players today.

Are there any recent results of hers that would yield anything
resembling a performance rating?

Not but a few years ago (2004), she helped the US Women's Olympiad team to a
silver medal, going undefeated and winning the individual Gold (see her
Wiki). She is undefeated, actually, in 56(!) games in the Olympiads.

Remember - it isn't so much that the GM play is available to 1400s but that
1400s don't play like GMs. 1400s would never manage to achieve the
positions from which the computers have refuted the GM play, and probably
would never find the refutations even if they got to the positions.

It's a general comment you make - but GMs from the 1980s are using
technology now to compete at reasonable levels. Beliavsky hasn't just faded
away, and when Korchnoi is on his game, he is every bit of 2600 strength.
One can tell by Kasparov's analyses on Playchess that he certainly could
still compete at the highest levels. And we certainly can't forget GM Maya
Chiburdanidze's recent Olympic success. Maya (now spelled Maia) is also
still a perennial World Championship candidate. I'm waiting for Nona
Gaprandishvili's comeback tour!

The last competitive event that Susan Polgar played in, at standard
time controls, where she did not get to choose which opponents she
played against, was the 2005 US Amateur Team East.

http://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain....13881-12452240

In that event, Susan scored a performance rating of 2153.

However, it seems that she was having a bad tournament. She is
probably better than that.

In 2006 she placed second in the 2006 NYC MAYOR'S CUP. Pretty good
performance, in my book. She couldn't 'choose', she had to play all.

In June she played in the 2009 NATIONAL OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP. She only
played one game. Strange.

In any case she is probably 3 times as strong as anyone who posts on
here regularly.

The New York Mayors Cup was an exhibition event that Susan Polgar
organized and paid the players.

At least one of the players has since revealed that they were made to
understand not to beat her.

The one game she played at the National Open was against Fred
Gruenberg, organizer of the event. It is unknown why she played that
game as neither of them played any other games. Very suspicious.

The guy she played was from Illinois. Why would he travel all the way
to Vegas to play only one game? Is he a lawyer or something involved
in the USCF/Polgar/Sloan law suits?

The person she played is the organizer and owner of the tournament. He
also owns a share in the casino where the tournament is played. He is
a Big Time Operator.

However, I do not know why they played this one game, that was really
not part of the event.
