After Words

“I’ve lived and worked in 深圳 (Shēnzhèn) for many years”, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) said in the aftermath of her triumph at the 15th National Games of People’s Republic of China. “So I could not hope for a happier ending than achieving such a victory on behalf of 广东 (Guǎngdōng)”. She also praised the emergence and growth of a new generation: “This time there was no age limitation and many young women took part in the Finals. I’m profoundly pleased to see the new generation being up to such a challenge”, she said. “They all showed their passion and potential for chess, as proof of the soundness of their study”.
