One Hour and the Next

Four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán)’s guest appearance at the Mechanics’ Institute Library & Chess Room in San Francisco, California, United States on May 22, 2018. The caption of the pictures above – which are the corollary of the previous one – is by renejr11: “Honoured to have met the current #1 ranked woman chess player in the world, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán). She’s a [4]x Women’s World Champion. She won her first Championship in 2010 at age 16. I loved being in a room filled with chess enthusiasts, at the oldest running chess club in the United States, to hear her speak for a hour. (I lost my autographed flyer on my way to the station but at least I took a picture of it 😅)”. Photos and video by renejr11.


And so save the date! On Sunday, June 10, 2018, 15,30–17,30 four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) will give a twenty-board simultaneous exhibition at King’s Land Chess in San Ramon, California, United States. Admittance to young players only. Seats are limited.
