Chinese Hou Yifan is now the youngest female grandmaster, making it as the 11th youngest grandmaster in history.
Hou achieved the feat at her age of 14 years, 6, months, and 1 day.
The Chinese girl wonder’s ascension to the list of chess prodigies did not alter our very own GM Wesley So’s ranking as the 7th youngest. GM Wesley got this elite honor at his age of 14 years, 1 month, and 28 days in 2007.
GM Wesley So is so far the only Filipino chess player who made it to the top 20 chess prodigies in the history of chess – a distinct achievement indeed.
