Tall Order

侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) as the Sugar Plum Fairy exchanges toasts at the awarding ceremony of the 35th Women’s World Chess Championship in Tirana, Albania on November 30, 2011. Yet she maintained her modesty and humour: “I am 17 years old now, and my height is 165 cm. I don’t know how tall I’ll grow. I am definitely not tall now”, she said. “I have healthy limbs and two hands. Now this is what everyone can see. There is still a long way to go. Still working hard”.
