  percyblakeney: Zhao Xue has played well lately and just scored an undefeated +6 in 9 games (beating Pähtz in 21 moves) in a tournament where 7 of 10 players were 2400+:

Mar-13-08   playerXchess: Zhao Xue's http://www.fide.com/ratings/card.ph... FIDE photo has an uncanny resemblance to Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

  hitman84: <playerXchess>Yes!
Mar-27-08   kwi: And she's not getting her GM title. http://www.fide.com/news.asp?id=1554
Mar-30-08   laserlight: <And she's not getting her GM title.>

That would imply that her compatriot Hou Yifan would not get a GM norm from the Isbank Ataturk Women Masters (2008), unless the confirmation has been delayed instead of denied.

  twinlark: FIDE now lists her as a GM, as well as an WGM

  twinlark: Does Yifan Hou get credited with a GM norm from the Ataturk Women's Masters now that Zhao has her GM title? In other words, is Zhao's title retrospective to the Ataturk Women's Masters or as a result of it?

If it's retrospective, then Yifan gets her second GM norm, if not, Yifan misses out.

Aug-14-08   akhc: it should be retrospective so Yifan should get her second GM norm
Aug-23-08   thordrup: On her fide profile she's named as a "Woman Grand Master & (GM)" so it appears her GM application (http://www.fide.com/FIDE/titles/ima...) has now been approved

http://www.fide.com/index.php?optio...

Also on the China country list (http://ratings.fide.com/topfed.phtm...) she's also listed as "g" for grandmaster

In <Calvia 2004> she also scored 10/12 and helped her country to win another gold while in the last two Olympiads in Turin and Dresden, she helped her team to win bronze medals.

She was the leading player of the Chinese team which won the <2007> Women’s Team Championship.
