集市 (Funfair)

Today, following a format similar to the one of the Grand Chess Tour, the 2019 深圳 (Shēnzhèn) 罗湖 (Luōhú) All-Star Chess Tournament featured a friendly version of yesterday’s mixed doubles competition, matching chess Grandmasters with an equal number of female and male “Shēnzhènese” entrepreneurs. Pictured above is four-time Women’s World Chess Champion and Rhodes Scholar 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) smilingly helping a businessman not to shipwreck in the labyrinths of the board.
