Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Great fighting.
So it most likely that Hou Yifan will win this Grand Prix series. If she happens to win the women knockout World championship, she will match up with Humpy again for a shot at world title next time round.
Can anyone justify the crazy process involved in choosing the Women’s World Champion? How many obstacles does Hou have to overcome to become champion…which she already is? FIDE is an embarrassment.
