Most would say no, but why not a female chess grandmaster winning the ultimate championship?
Is Polgar the best of the fair sex? What would be her chances in the Chess World Championship?

Judit Polgar was the strongest woman's player ever. In fact, when she won a game against Garry Kasparov, she became the first woman ever to beat a male world champion in any competitive sport (chess is a quasi-sport).
Hou Yifan is now the strongest woman player, but she is currently a Rhodes Scholar and is not playing as much as she once did.
The best women can compete with the top male grandmasters, but not quite at the world championship level.
