THE NEW BOBBY FISCHER?
Hou Yifan is just 17 years old and is already doing the stuff that makes legends. Youngest ever female player to qualify for GM title; youngest women World Champion ever (at age 16); and so on. Hou is currently giving a simultaneous exhibition at the women's World Cup in Rostov (link below). Or so it seems...after 7 rounds she is already 2 points ahead of the field, composed of some of the strongest female players in the world, many of them GM -strength players!
Hou Yifan is clearly a head better than her rivals. The quality of her games is exceptional. I have no doubt that she will soon break 2700. Probably 2800 within a couple of years , if she is able to continue improving at the rate she is. Wouldn't it be great to have a woman become the absolute World Champion?

DO CHESS PLAYERS HAVE A NATURAL TALENT FOR DRESSING TASTEFULLY?
Or do they just work hard at it?
