The Lost Painting

Four-time Women’s World Chess Champion and world’s woman No. 1 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) is to come back to classical chess! In fact she will play a four games’ inter-gender match against 卜祥志 (Bǔ Xiángzhì) which will be taking place at 南山博物馆 (Nánshān Museum) in 深圳 (Shēnzhèn), China from February 21–24, 2022, with classic time control: 90 minutes plus 30 seconds per move. If the score is tied after four games, they’ll play two blitz games and, if still tied, an Armageddon tie-breaker.
