| Dec-24-10 | | jair: Such great sportsmanship at the end. Can this really be chess? |

 | | whiteshark: Hou Yifan has won 4th rapid and thus became new Women World Champion! Congratulations!!! |
|
| Dec-24-10 | | goodevans: Will Hou overtake Judit Polgar in the ratings list after this? If she's good enough to win WWC at 16 then just how good can she get? I hope Hou now concentrates on playing male opponents. If so I'm sure she can achieve even more than Polgar has. |
|
| Dec-24-10 | | s4life: Congrats Hou Yifan!!.. now on to beat the boys -- and J Polgar ;) -- |

 | | ketchuplover: Hou is the world champion? |

|
| Dec-25-10 | | kurtrichards: <WWCC> Congratulations,Hou! I bought a small jar of Tiger Balm...see if it'll work for myself...lol! |
|
| Dec-26-10 | | Birthday Boy: Congratulations to Yifan Hou winning the Women World Championship! it seems that she have the record of being the youngest women's world champion. by the way Lufei Ruan did well, but got tired in the tiebreaks. |

 | | HeMateMe: Hou-you-gonna-call! It would be nice to see her appear on some magazine covers, get a little press coverage. Maybe a product endorsement. |
|
| Dec-30-10 | | kevins55555: What if the Polgar sisters entered in this event? What do you think would happen??? Judit win??? =P ♙♘♗♖♕♔♙♘♗♖♕♔♙♘♗♖♕♔♙♘♗♖♕♔♙♘♗♖♕♔♙♘♗♖♕♔ |
|
| Dec-30-10 | | kevins55555: <Birthday Boy> Hou should be battling for Anand's title. That would make her skill even better. =) |
|
| Dec-30-10 | | kevins55555: <thickhead> I think Hou should try versing Judit Polgar and also Anand and Carlsen. |

| Jan-15-11 | | crazybird: Anish Giri on WWCC:
<Obviously women chess are rather different from those of men. Perhaps the reason for the difference is that women are actually clever enough to realize that there are much more important things in life rather than chess (Robert James wouldn't agree with my reasoning…(ed. Anish means Bobby Fischer)). As a result, we rarely see deep theoretical battles and accurate positional masterpieces as in our, tough, men-chess-world. The competition however doesn't suffer from it at all and games are usually lively and entertaining and the winner is mainly the one whose nerves were stronger that day. Though I must say, lately especially with the emergence of tandem Kosintseva-Kosintseva-Dokhoyan (famous coach of Kasparov and now Karjakin), we do see some theoretical stuff and I am sure a few games from Women chess are saved into files of some theoreticians.Some analysis:

| Jan-16-11 | | Ogma: OPEN LETTER to FIDE about the WWCC 2010
http://www.chessblog.com/2011/01/op... |
|
Jan-16-11
| | HeMateMe: The above letter seems to have been signed by all the participants, but I don't see Hou Yifan's name, or the other chinese woman, who did real well. I wonder, are the Chinese players forbidden from following a streak of individuality, or did they not agree with the allegations made by the other participants? |
|
| Jan-16-11 | | Ogma: I don't think we should infer too much about participants not signing based just on the contents of the letter. I would respect their not signing, whatever the reason. However it seems pretty clear that the contents of the letter are true, which if so is an absolute disgrace. |
|
| Jan-16-11 | | suplexer: they should have exposed the letter during the tournament, or preferably on arrival. They should have at least added a congratulations to Hou Yifan in the letter, instead of making excuses why they didn't win. |
|
Jan-16-11
| | HeMateMe: I thought teams were supposed to get a lower, group rate when they all stayed at the same hotel. Anyway, they shouldn't have to pay 90 euros for some dumpy little room. Don't their own Federations pay these bills and give them per diem money? Chess is in bad shape if the women have to pay for their own hotel rooms and boil ramen noodles in the microwave oven. |
|
| Jan-18-11 | | Ogma: suplexer they don't imply they're unhappy about Hou Yifan winning they wouldn't have known the circumstances straight off and there may have been reasons not to do the letter at the time, having some games to play. Are you not affected by what it says in the letter at all? Your post makes crass and quite strange assumptions and distracts from the actual issues. (For anyone else, these are in the letter in my last post.) |
|
| Jan-19-11 | | gazzawhite: <suplexer> They aren't making excuses why they didn't win (in fact, if you read the letter it is quite clear that everyone had the same conditions). In fact, much of their criticism is directed at the money-making antics of the organising committee. |

| Feb-19-11 | | BLarsen1967: Tuesday afternoon,ah,it reminds me of some old Moody Blues song - but,Come Tuesday and round 1 will be rolling,in the Women's Grand Prix (the last one of its kind in this cycle) - The quest is,who's gonna challenge young Yifan Hou,and it appears we only have 2 canditates,one is Nana Dzagnidze,the other is Humpy Koneru (actually Stefanova has a chance too,but it's merely 'theoretical') - still,no matter what you say,it's gonna be luminously Great & Exciting ! Of course I'm rooting for La Stefanova (she's the best) --- Here's the official website

 | | Tabanus: <Richard Taylor> I hope my write-up today is sufficiently clear. And correct. The tiebreak games of the final are missing. (Perhaps all tiebreak games are missing, please check.) |
