Spring Summer Collection

Thus, after losing the clash of genders in 深圳 (Shēnzhèn), four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) has already to put her colourful, dernier cri outfits into her travelling suitcases, since from 15 to 18 July 2018 she will attend as a special guest the 5th Russia–China Junior Match of Friendship in Belokurikha, a balneological resort town in Altai Krai, Russia. On occasion she will play a rapid chess match – another clash of genders – with Russian Grandmaster Nikita Kirillovich Vitiugov, which, according to her own declarations, will be her last chess engagement before going up as a Rhodes Scholar to the University of Oxford, where she will be studying for a Master’s Degree in Education.
