Hou Yifan beats Judit Polgar!

Still a teenager, but already the World Women's Champion, the Chinese star Hou Yifan leads with none other than Michael Adams at the Gibraltar Chess Tournament. Behind her are several International stars including former World Championship contenders!

She beat Le Qiang Leim in the previous round, but what caught the whole World's attention was her win against Judit Polgar. We have to go back decades to find a loss by Judit against another female player!
