And finally, today in the afternoon (June 29), four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) paid her not-so-long planned visit in Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico, chivalrously escorted by a plethora of bodyguards: Mexican International Master Guil Russek Libni, Cuban-Mexican International Master Ramón Huertas Sorís, Argentine International Master Pablo Della Morte and his wife Cuban Woman International Master Zenia Corrales Jiménez and, more solito, the President of Mexican Chess Federation Mr. Mario Ramírez Barajas, who officiated the presentation ceremony. As reported by Arturo Xicoténcatl for Excelsior, June 29, 2017, p. 4, the 13th Women’s World Chess Champion played a 25-board simultaneous exhibition, then gave a mastery lecture about her win against Francisco Vallejo Pons in the 71st Corus Chess Tournament (B-Group) at Wijk aan Zee 2009, and finally signed autographs for her die-hard fans.
