Traveling at the Speed of Thought

As Siegbert Tarrasch said, “Before the endgame the gods have placed the middle game”. Thus, before going up to Oxford University to widen her own horizons, four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) will try her luck in the cyberland of the 3rd Speed Chess Championship, a 16-player online knockout match tournament organised by Chess.com, with each match featuring 90 minutes of 5/1 blitz, 60 minutes of 3/1 blitz, and 30 minutes of 1/1 bullet chess.
侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán)’s gonna play her debut match against Hikaru Nakamura on Thursday, July 26, 5 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time.
All matches will be broadcast live with qualified commentary on Chess.com/TV and Twitch.tv/Chess.
