Apparently instead China is betting on chess matches now and next, announcing the presence on stage of both their two crowned “Wonder Women”: 17th Women’s World Chess Champion 居文君 (Jū Wénjūn) and Ekaterina Aleksandrovna Lagno will play a two-game rapid match in the capital, 北京 (Běijīng) from February 10–12, while four-time Women’s World Chess Champion and Rhodes Scholar 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) will pick up the gauntlet of a world top player in 深圳 (Shēnzhèn) later this year. Further details about dates and names will follow as soon as more is known.
