Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Hou Yifan should be the winner of the “Best under 16” prize. she is 15+; she finishes 6.5/9 points, ahead of Giri, on 6.0/9, and the rest.
Hou Yifan was born February 27, 1994, in Xinghua, Taizhou, Jiangsu, China (Wikipedia). She is 15 and half years old.
Boo Hou!
You guys just zip it!
She wins all the time anyway!
The sponsor will give money where he wants to give it!
Next you will be crying about Kramnik again…
Boo Hou!
That’s true, she is 15, but tournament rules say that you can win only one special prize. Yifan won the “Best Female” prize, so she couldn’t win the prize for “Best under 16”. http://www.sgzurich2009.ch/pages/openAds/invitation.php?lang=en
So “Best under 16” is really not “Best under 16”.
