The Gibraltar Chess Festival 2012 continues to bring excitement to the chess calendar, this time attracting not only some of the best Grandmasters, but also the women chess elite. As a result of that just a few days ago we witnessed the battle between Judit Polgar, the top rated women on the planet for many years, and Humpy Koneru, World Chess Championship finalist (replay the game here).
Today it gets even better, as we will see Judit Polgar play with the World Champion Yifan Hou. Follow the game at this here at this article and here with computer analysis starting at 15:00 CET.
