    Through 5 rounds, there are only a dozen ladies with more points than Yuanling's 4/5 (:

      At first I thought the Daniel King mini-interviews were not very interesting, but I am coming around to the view that they are in fact very interesting. Yuanling is a delightful young lady with a lot of grace and clearly a lot of passion for what she sets her mind to work on. I wish her well! Sometimes the player's reaction to some of the questions is very interesting too since they have to think quickly on the spot.

        What a delightful interview! This one is my favorite of the many (I do mean many!) interesting interviews that I have seen of this Olympiad.

          A very poised and classy young lady. We are very fortunate to have her leading the Canadian team and serving as a role model for a generation of Canadian girls and women.

            I've never met her in person, so this was a great first encounter.

              Here's another fascinating interview with Yuanling Yuan, conducted a little less than 2 years ago by US Chess League CT Dreadnoughts (whom Yuanling played for) manager Ian Harris.

                ChessBase has a fascinating feature today by Yuanling's "female chess player" partner, Alisa Melekhini, cited in this same Daniel King interview re their U.S. startup company, SubLite.

                    Yuanling is not only a great chessplayer but she also writes well. She delivers her message in an informative and subtly entertaining manner. Many before have wanted to post their criticisms of US chess organization but who else could have done so in such fine writing?

                      Thank you Hans! The least I can do for chess on this continent is to get some more attention for this game in the press (it took me 2 months to advocate for it). I'm glad that you enjoyed the read. :)
