    I think the CFC has to now expand its page listing Canadian Title Holders to also include WGM Qiyu Zhou... :) Hee: http://chess.ca/fide-titles

      Agreed.

      Qiyu plays everywhere, including England last weekend, where she finished =3rd-5th at Blackpool with a 2431 TPR:

          By the way I really enjoyed your interview with Qiyu and her mom, John. Set a goal and just do it. (Better than Nike)
