Thursday, October 15, 2015 at 1:41PM
She had already clinched first place in the Women's Grand Prix in Monte Carlo with a round to go, and now it's official. She drew her last-round game (with some effort), as did Mariya Muzychuk, while Humpy Koneru lost to Anna Muzychuk. Hou finished with 9/11, with (Mariya) Muzychuk and Humpy two points behind.

Hou Yifan is a great talent and will probably surpass Judith's rating record (2735). However can she become a top 10 player like Judith, or ever earn the chance to play for the men's championship (2005) as well. With a clear 100 point lead over all the other women she will need to play in more men's tournaments to get to Judith's level.
