| shr0pshire: Xie Jun won the women's world championship title in 1991, stopping the russian domination. She was very young at the time, just turned 21, and she wasn't very well known before that (asian female players were not known at this time). She has a best game book, and it is fabulously written. I highly recommend it! |

| shr0pshire: Btw on the chessmetrics page, in 1992 she was rated higher than kramnik in the top hundred players in the world. Xie Jun rated 48th in the world with a chessmetrics rating of 2626. Vladimir Kramnik rated 49th in the world with a chessmetrics rating of 2626. I think that is pretty impressive. |

benzol,
Regarding pronunciation of her name. Xie: there is really no English equivalent to the sound transliterated as 'X'. It denotes a 'retroflex' consonant, sort of like an S, but subtly different. If you can do that tongue-whistle (not the lip pucker-whistle) where you tuck your tongue under your lower teeth and make a sort of groove with your tongue, then blow through it, you will get the general idea. The I is pronounced like the French I, and the E is more like 'Eh'; the two vowels are both pronounced. Jun is also difficult; the J is more like dz (our english J is transliterated as zh); the U is like in PUT. Fortunately, the N is as expected. (incidentally, xie xie means thank-you) |

I have a simple way to pronounce her name
Xie
you can pronounce like She("e"like in"Bed")
Jun
you can pronounce like Drun("u"like "ea"in dream"....Though anyway,the exact pronunciation is different from English pronunciation,but its pretty close... |
