    Yes been following it with great interest, she is simply too consistent for Mariya. Games have been good, especially liked the game where Yifan played the English and Mariya had good pressure almost the entire game but could not convert it.

    Polgar is, alas, retired. So almost certainly not.

    Do the non-women's chess champions get crowned with a laurel wreath too?

    Some guy at might work (a non-player) must have read something about
    this because he asked me about the Women's World Championship and were
    they really any good at chess.

    I said yes but the woman play on a smaller board with less pieces.

    He believed me!

    I could be wrong, but I think all of their pieces appear to be more feminine as well. And the 'king' is actually just another queen.

    Shorter games, too, and no tackling above the waist.
