Time Lapse

Four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) will partecipate in the 4th Isle of Man International Chess Tournament (which will feature a first prize of £50,000) to be held in Douglas, Isle of Man from September 23 to October 1, 2017, as well as in the 7th Chess World Cup to be held in Batumi and Tbilisi, Georgia from 1 to 25 September 2017. However, the unfair “juxtaposition” of the two great events, due most likely to the electoral campaign for FIDE Presidency, could eventually compel her to pass through the eye of a needle, so maybe it’s better to say that four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) will took part in the 4th Isle of Man International Chess Tournament, provided she manages to get eliminated (at least before September 21) from the 7th Chess World Cup. It’s kind of like Russian roulette with her (his) own toes. Greedy people may get crazy.
