Hou has reached 2600 for what is the first time, I believe.

She still has quite a hill to climb to match Judit's best of #8 in the world though.

1 Polgar, Judit g HUN 2686   0 1976
2 Koneru, Humpy g IND 2607   18 1987
3 Hou, Yifan g CHN 2602   23

1994

Happy New Year Goldendog, I don't know anything about Hou.. so why are you following her progress ?  

goldendog

Happy New Year to you too, kco.

She's a top woman player, current WC, young...I hope she really takes off and can make a mark not just among women.

kco

Well it been 21 months ago since your last post. So how is she doing now ?

johnmusacha

Yes "Hou" is she doing?

She looks much better with longer hair.

goldendog

She's not made much progress.

Would that statement #8  'qualify' for you goldendog ? Wink

I still can't believe there's somebody named Humpy.

Hou should start competing in men's events if she wants to get better IMO.
