After all, in every school worth the name, there can be no midpoint between teacher’s desk and students’ benches. And so today — tonight in China — four-time Women’s World Chess Champion and Rhodes Scholar 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), the youngest Professor ever appointed to a chair of 深圳大学 (Shēnzhèn University), crushed 宁凯玉 (Níng Kǎiyù) 8½–1½ in their round of 16 match of the 1st Online Women’s Speed Chess Championship Grand Prix’s fourth leg to advance to the quarterfinals, where she will face Kazakhstani International Master Zhansaya Daniyarovna Abdumalik.
