Cast a Diva

Lastly, but not least, four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) ended up with a double podium finish at the superfinal of the 17th Chinese Chess League in 聊城 (Liáochéng). Indeed, her team, 杭州银行 (Hángzhōu Bank), captured only the second-place prize (maybe a little disappointing), but she, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), once again proved how very much the awareness of uniqueness can make everyone’s eyes shine — just enough, apparently, to win the “Best Popularity Award”!
