The Queen of Stone


於之莹 (Yú Zhīyíng) is a Chinese professional Go player who — as well as 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) in chess — challenged gender stereotypes and fought to victory against all odds to open wide the narrow confines of gender. At the recent 23rd 农心杯 (Nongshim Cup) she scored a sensational victory over the mythical South Korean “Stone Buddha” 이창호 (Lee Chang-ho).
