This is not a good sign for Hou Yifan.
He should come by Tal Memorial to beat some Wang.
Hou did well enough. Apart from the first game loss she held the former chess legend in all other games. Also goes to show, that with age a person’s chess skills looses it’s edge.
The player who scared Fischer won again!!
Bravo Tolya!!!!! The most talented player ever!!!
