| |
| donjova: <jith1207>, qualifications for Candidates have nothing to do with Grand Chess Tour. Sorry if you already knew it, your post was worded as if you thought these events are related. :) Anyway, one good progress tracker for the Candidates is here: ... |

| |
| donjova: <cormier: for 3 or 4 years i hoped and thought Grichuk was the best contender, but one way or the other he couldn't get throught> He did quite well in this GP series. 26 games without defeat so far. Unfortunately, it seems he will not have enough wins. +5 =21 -0 |

Feb-24-17 Y Hou vs Polgar, 2012
| |
| donjova: <beenthere240:> Hou indeed can play effectively against the top players (who happen to be men), it is enough to look at her rating to see that she is very, very strong grandmaster. However, she still has a lot of catching up to do to even get close to Judit Polgar's ... |
