FIDE Top 100 Women January 2010 Nothing has changed: Judit Polgar is still almost 70 points ahead of her nearest rival, Indian GM Koneru Humpy. Chinese wonder talent Hou Yifan continues to move slowly towards the 2600 mark and we can expect her to soon be the third female player in history to achieve this.           Picture 1. Judit Polgar.
