And as Leonard Barden wrote in his column for The Guardian of March 31, 2023, “The all-time No 2 woman, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), who abandoned chess for an academic career, will return to action on 24 April in a strong rapid/blitz event at Astana which also includes the former world champion Vlad Kramnik”. So, save the date for the “Satty Zhuldyz” Chess Festival, April 19–26, 2023, whose highlight is the blitz & rapid tournament due to an outstanding lineup that includes (in alphabetical order): Levon Grigori Aronian, Bibisara Erkhanovna Assaubayeva, Arjun Erigaisi, Boris Abramovich Gelfand, Alexander Igorevich Grischuk, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), Vincent Keymer, Vladimir Borisovich Kramnik, Ekaterina Aleksandrovna Lagno, Haik Mikaeli Martirosyan, Javokhir Sindarov, and Jahongir Tahirovich Vakhidov.
