FIDE publishes the rating lists once a month, but people are always curious what the live ratings of top chess players are. A list of world's 2700+ grandmasters exists already. We would like to offer you regularly updated women's top chess rankings. A special banner will be added to the left panel of Pogonina.com so that you can always see how things are going for the women's elite.
