Judit Polgar, the strongest female player of all time

While people interested in chess pay a lot of attention to members of the 2700+ club among male chess players, many of them are not aware that there are fewer women who have crossed the 2500 threshold than men who have entered the 2700+ club. To fix this, we decided to compile a list of female chess players who have been rated over 2500 at some point.

Of course, one can't directly compare ratings obtained at different time periods (i.e. FIDE 2500 in 2000 is not the same as FIDE 2500 in 2010), but we will leave that discussion aside for now.

A quick summary: historically only Judit Polgar crossed the 2700 barrier, Koneru Humpy managed to get over 2600, while 31 more women made it past 2500.

We do hope that the situation is going to improve, and more female chess players will be competing on par with men in the future!
