We're delira and excira!
Hou Yifan about to become strongest female player in the world
Sort:
In terms of pure chess competition she is not a babe but a baby in the infancy of the game I mean by this that she is still learning.

No need for you to give us a descriptive explanation of your personality, we already knew that you where delirious, or confused and incoherent. An irreversible condition that only Alzheimer can minimize as you will forget.
Now do not include me in your "we" (we're is your exact words) as I am not on your side on this comment.
It happened:
Yay!
Yes but she's only 20!
She'll never be as good as Polgar, sorry. Yifan is nothing more than a footnote in chess history.

Polgar was the top rated woman in the world when she was 12. Still, congratulations to Hou Yifan. She's a very promising player.
But mostly she stayed #1 for such a long time due to inactivity (last 2 years).

Obviously a poor metric.

She's awesome! Great footnotes make for a great read
Judith Polgar is a prodigy, destroying a lot of high-rank grandmasters, I hope Yifan Hou could follow her success.

Hardly mostly or even just the last two of the 25 years. As late as nine months ago she was 2685 while Hou Yifan was 2618.

And if Judit had the white pieces? Or the same motivation as a 20 year old who is from a place where second place is felt the same as a loss, and accentuating your countries "glorious rise" is number 1 priority in all fields.
I think Hou is very good and has greatly improved understanding from her former engine-like style, but she still (in my opinion) isnt the same class as say the Judit from her glory days battling with Kasparov, Anand, Kramnik, Ivanchuk, Karpov etc, in PRE computer days.
Admittedly , its probably only a matter of time, though.

She is only 30 points behind Judit, and if she keeps beating 2750s like in this game ( just finished in Biel ), it won't take long before she surpasses her:
What about A_L_I_V_E? we all know she's nowhere near the world's greatest chess player.
Not sure I understandwhat you men as your stats shows that as of Jan 29,2015 Hou Yifan is 6 points ahead of Judith. Can you explain what you mean by 30 points behind?
Also can you repost the game as it is not visible nor in my post nor your's?

I uploaded the image as an url link. As it turns out 2700chess.com updates the image behind this url, so the image changes with time. I learned the lesson and from then on I upload the image itself instead of using the url.
When I started the thread Yifan was 30 points behind.
For the record:
Hou has just beaten Al-Sayed Mohammed ( quite strong GM ) and she is now 58th in the world with a rating of 2681:
Go go Hou! Keep pushing the limit!
Edit: I think I just became a big fan of her since Anna Muzychuk is not Slovenian anymore. 
Interesting game as with all of the knowledge of Judith over 25 years of playing chess and being the no 1 female chess player in the world, this young lady managed to completely destroy the black formation of Judith.
Not an easy task to accomplish and I personally do not even want to comment on others that say what if Judith played white pieces? All chess players need to know how to play on both sides of the board.
The future is her's to conquer and i wish her the best.
would you say that Hou Yifan is a chess babe?
