Humpy Koneru is the top female talent from India. Yifan Hou is the top young female talent from China. They are the future of women’s chess. They are #1 and #2 rated players in this event. But only one can move on to the Women’s World Championship Final. Who do you pick to win this highly anticipated match?
GM-elect Hou Yifan (2557) – GM Koneru (2622)
GM Kosteniuk (2510) – GM Cramling (2544)

I always root for the sexiest babe to win.
Two good lookers in this match. Tie goes to the better fighter.
Hou wins
They are both patzers who will do nothing to promote the game of chess except play for their own sak and money to put into their bank accounts. As soon as they get married their carreers will end. What have they done for the game? Invented new theory? Played new manouvers? Nothing, I say! Away with women’s chess!
None of the two are sexy babes. All the sexy babes dropped out already.
how is Hou a GM elect? last I’ve heard she only had two GM norms
I go for a final between Kosteniuk and Koneru… oh no! it’s the K.-K. again… this kurse has no end!!! 🙂
I predict Yifan – Kosteniuk final
Two good lookers in this match. Tie goes to the better fighter.
Serious?
The Kosinteva sisters are “cute” and out. Antoneta Stephanova(sp?) was hot in her younger days, as were some other participants. Humpy is not only *not* hot she’s not obviously female. Hou is plain.
Forget grand-aunt Cramling, as well as the highly overrated Kosteniuk. Only two persons think Kosteniuk hot: (a) a prison-deprived Bobby Fischer, who preferred her to Spassky’s company (he’s straight!); and (b) Kosteniuk herself.
Other good-looking or formerly good-looking chess babes, in my opinion: Almira Skripchenko, Judit Polgar, Victoria Cmilyte, Ekaterina Polovnikova Atalik, and the Bensdorp sisters of Netherlands.

And what exactly did/will you do in your life that is/will be beneficial to the whole world and not just you?
Looks pretty good for Hou so far
