The Queen of Chess
The champion chess player, Hou Yifan,
was born on 27th February 1994 in
Xinghua, China. She first became interested
in the game when she was three and her
parents bought her a chess set*. Then, at
five years old, she began taking lessons
with a world-famous chess tutor who
encouraged her to play in local chess
competitions from the age of six. These
gave her experience in playing against
others and improved her skill at the game.
Amazingly, she won the World Youth
Chess Championship for Girls when she
was only ten and two years later, she
became the youngest person to play in the
World Women’s Championships.
Her success continued when in 2008, at the
age of 13, she became the youngest ever
Chinese chess champion and the youngest
female to become a grandmaster. Then, a
few years later in 2010, she won her first
Women’s World Championship. She also
won it in 2011 and 2013 and is the only
player in history who has won three world
championships before the age of 20.
These days, you will find her studying in
the School of International Studies at
Peking University as well as playing chess
professionally. Her chess career still
continues and in March 2015, at the age of
21, she was officially named as the best
female player in the world. More recently,
she nearly beat the Male World Champion,
Magnus Carlsen, and many people think
that in the future, she may become the
world’s best chess player.
