	Highest-Rated Female Chess Players of Al The list is unfortunately incorrect. The correct one is here: http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking_szachowy#.C5.9Awiat Two mistakes: Cmilyte 2528 http://ratings.fide.com/top_files.phtml?id=12801259 Skripchenko 2501 http://ratings.fide.com/top_files.phtml?id=13900145 Regards, Przemek Jahr

	Highest-Rated Female Chess Players of Al @Przemek Jahr Thanks, now Cmilyte has 2528, not 2527 in the table. I doubt it is a sufficient reason to call the whole list incorrect. @Eric That case is ambiguous. I am perfectly aware that her FIDE profile shows ratings below 2500 (http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?event=13900145), although one of the rating lists gives 2501. As I was not sure which info to trust, I decided not to include Elmira. http://pogonina.com

	Highest-Rated Female Chess Players of Al OK Peter, I understand. But for Almira, I'm sure. I played a match against Nao Chess Club with my club Bordeaux-Echecs in april 2003. Her rating was 2501. She won against Aurйlien Crut (who was on the board near me) while I drew against Igor Nataf.
