Hello,


Anyone know why Alexandra Kostenuik isn't taking part of the tournament? Has she lost already?

maybe she will now start playing go

[Stefany93]

Thank you for the reply, buddy. It is a pity she lost her title, but I think her nickname '' chessqueen '' deserves the credit for her failure.


P.S - Let's hope she won't become ''goqueen ''

The final is Hou Yifan vs Lufei Ruan. Hope it goes to tiebreaks, where Ruan has proved to be a monster. But I'm still pulling for the teenager.

Oh good, finally a Chinese will be the chess queen

Funny.

Was nice to see Zhu Chen win a game against what will likely to be our new world champion.

Edit: Here a like to that game, was an interesting Nimzo-Indian Defense: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1602422

Seems that the Chinese was grow strong in chess as well as Go. God save Europe now

I am on Hou Yifan's side, but either victory is fine with me

Hou Yifan took the title. Good for her and China, but it feels a bit hollow as long as Judit Polgar refuses to take part in these women only events...

Congratulations to Yifan!

About Judit Polgar I think she is a making a mistake for not taking part in women tournaments. I have read somewhere that she wants to prove that women and men are equal in chess and that the women can compete with men as equals. Good enterprise, but her results are disaster. Every time she takes part in a claimant tournament for the world title, she drops out from the first games.

What do you expect from people? I do not see how you can call anybodies chess results a "disaster" when they have been number 10 on the world rating list, like Judit Polgar. Male or female, not many players ever reach that level...
