To be fair Judit has faced far more men than Yifan. Still impressive.

Any chance of those two having a match? Not just one game but a real match.
At her peak Judit Polgar was one of the best players in the world. Yifan Hou is still some way off that, and to be honest I doubt if she'll ever quite make it.

Longtime contender, great chess mind, very underappreciated. Glad to see others admire Korchnoi.

A great book is Korchnoi's My Best Games, 2011 Edition OLMS. Updated and has both Vol.1 & Vol. 2 in one book. His annotations are very different..tells quite a bit about what he was thinking during his very long career.
