Hou Yifan about to become strongest female player in the world

So awesome story, haha, be careful ;)

Yeah, one wrong move, I would have been dog meal on Phuket island...

         The 1st picture looks like hungry dogs. The 2nd one is playful dogs.

lol, true...they actually looked neither hungry nor playful, just pissed from what I remember

Heh, so walk on the path, the dogs ignore.

Come out of the trees, and you're a wild beast!

Hehe. Maybe once they got close they realized you were just a person and decided not to eat you, but were still riled up so all the snapping. I've been bitten by dogs friendlier than that.

I've never been bitten, except by my mother's chihuahua...but that doesn't count

bitten by several dogs, leiph?  How'd it happen? If you don't mind sharing.

This stupid crazy dog that knew me... I'd been in the house before, petted it and all that, but it was dark and I was in the doorway entering the house and it suddenly decided I was dangerous. Without barking it ran out the door behind me and bit my calf faster than I knew what was happening. Instinctively I turned around to kick it and it was already 5 feet away running off into the night...

Not a serious wound, although in hindsight I was stupid for not having it checked out right away. Infection and all that. Wrapped it up and ignored it like you might expect a young person to do :p

Later I decided the current or previous owners must have abused it. I "adopted" a different dog from them some time after that (favorite dog I ever owned) and it had definitely been abused by someone (they denied they had done it).

That happened real quick, looks like. Too quick to feel the fang in flesh pain when it happened, huh? Good thing there were no consequences to your not getting it checked out after. Means the dog was healthy at least.

Dogs are the best kind of buddies you can have. If I were to be stuck on a desert island and I get to choose who I get stuck with - I'd choose my dog.

Yeah, it was over before I knew what was going on. I've seen where they hang on and shake, nothing like that.

I love dogs. Incredibly rewarding feeling seeing every little progress in the one they gave to me. First day it played with a toy my eyes swelled up

...lost 2 of my dogs last year. same here...you don't get that kind of love and loyalty from anyone.

         I love big dogs. Great Danes, Labs, Saint Bernards.

Yeah, me too. If I were to get another dog, I'd get a german shephard or a huskie

Hou is doing well at the 2015 Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival ( http://chess-results.com/tnr158561.aspx?lan=1&art=4&turdet=YES&wi=821 ).

Originally ranked 13th, after 6 rounds of 10 she currently occupies the 6th place with only 3 players ( Nakamura, Howell and Yu Yangyi having more points than her ).

However today she faces her first really tought opponent, having the black pieces against fellow countryman super GM Yu Yangyi.

I personally don't expect her unbeaten record to continue at this tournament after this game.

You certainly have a very strong immune system. Never bitten by the most common live forms such as : mosquitoes, spiders, snakes, a pike,bees, wasps, ants or bedbug? 

I am simply flabergasted, I think that you cn make  pile of money by going to tne nearest immunology research center and sell your bllod so they can find what is special in it to send off or repulse all of these.

Very first time I heard such a story and it made me laugh as no one can be immune to eveything.

So wasps have stopped using their stingers and are biting people now ?

That sounds like good news to me, never heard of a wasp with dangerous teeth.

You are a "connaisseur" and a perfectionist with a detailed precise question and really I was amazed that you did not know the answer.

For your information as you asked I verified last summer and bees, wasps, Scorpio’s, spiders and many infectious plants do not have teeth actually none have any teeth.

My point was not about teeth but about being immune to insects, plants, and animals as no one ever claimed in my whole life.

is she a model
