| playerXchess: <does anyone know what yifan's next tournament will be?> She might make an appearance at the currently ongoing Russia vs China Match (2008) although this is not confirmed. After that she's got the:
World Mind Sports Games in Beijing (3-18 October)
European Club Cup in in Kallithea (October 16-24)
Cap d'Agde Rapid (October 25-November 2)
38th Chess Olympiad in Dresden (12-25 November) |

| strategy11: It's good she's keeping herself active. Kosteniuk has won the WCC without losing a game. Today belongs to Kosteniuk. Yifan's defense technique was okay but her opening to middlegame transition still needs a lot of work. I am sure Hou Yifan's time will come. This is only the beginning. |

| blacksburg: ok, can someone please clear something up for me?

 |

...tells you everything you need to know ;-) |

| xky: Who wrote Yifan's biography on this page above? it's quite good.. probably the best one I've read on cg |
 |
Sep-19-08
 |
| blacksburg: thanks <xky>. it would seem that her first name is "Hou". i can't help it, i have to do this.
"Hou is the women's WC runner up."
"I don't know, who?"
"Hou, that's who."
"Who?"
"HOU!!!!" |

| Jim Bartle: "Hou is the women's runnerup."
"I don't know. Who?"
"Yes."
"Who?"
Damn, it has to be spoken or it doesn't work. |

| Calli: Lou: "Who won?"
Bud: "Thats right"
Lou: "But who finished first?"
Bud: "Absolutely"
Lou: (frustrated): "You are not going to tell me who won?" Bud: "I just did, Yifan"
Lou: "Yes, I am a big fan, but WHO won?"
Bud: "You got it." |

| Kaspablanca: If wikipedia is correct her surname is Hou, her given name is Yifan, remember chinese as korean names start with the surname then the given name, let`s supose she have a brother whose name is Deng, her name would be Hou Deng. |

| flhoosier: as long as she has one of her great smiles on, it'll be a wonderful photo to bestow on this page. |
 |
| Sep-20-08 |
| playerXchess: <flhoosier> But you can find plenty of photos on the internet. In spite of being the runner-up in Nalchik, Yifan's playing schedule is most impressive: 88 rated games this year plus blitz/rapid ones. |
 |

| Kaspablanca: Well, it looks like Hou is a fan of Sarah Palin:) |

I don't think shooting defenseless wolfs from a helicopter qualifies as hunting... my conservative friend told me so ;) |

| laserlight: On a more serious note, the Wikipedia profile photo of Hou Yifan may be used since it is in the public domain. |

| akhc: 88 games is pretty impressive but her fellow proteges are putting in the miles too. wesley so has played 103 games. negi close to 100. caruana and vachier-lagrave have played close to 80. it looks like that's the norm for juniors these days! |

| VaselineTopLove: You need to scroll down to see Yifan holding the knight from inside the mirror (not a real mirror)... |
