Note that when you search for all GM's title players you also get all women GM
title players but for them this is not the same GM's title as men.In fact there
is only about six women on 150 who get the man GM's title.I don't want to
diminish their WGM title but it is clearly below the true GM title for the
man.So there is approximately 660 GM's in the world.

Sorry my english is not perfect
