On December 22, 2012 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) made her guest appearance at the Grand Ballroom Pullman Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia to attend the last day of the Makita Women Rapid Chess Match between Indonesia and France, and perform a simultaneous exhibition. On occasion, she exchanged some views with the Chief Arbiter Peter Long, which he reported on his blogging site: “[...] we were amazed to learn that 凡 (Yìfán) did not have a personal coach but had to share the national coaches with the rest of the China teams. 凡 (Yìfán) did not get an allowance let alone a salary from the Federation or any other Sports Organisation in China and this was true for all their players! Even the players winnings were taxed”. Photo: Peter Long.
