East, West, Home’s Best

Four-time Women’s World Chess Champion and Rhodes Scholar 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) took an interlude from her Master’s Degree in Education at the University of Oxford in order to fly back to her homeland and bring her experiences into a Chinese classroom. Thus in the afternoon of December 13, 2018 13th Women’s World Chess Champion, rigorously dressed in the school ceremony clothes, took the stage of 星河 (Xīnghé) Experimental Primary School in 龙岗区 (Lónggǎng District), 深圳 (Shēnzhèn), China to perform a choreographic 50-board simultaneous exhibition with young students, eventually followed by a friendly Q&A.
