Yifan credits the applied nature of the MPP with giving her the skills to put her knowledge into practice outside of the classroom. “Looking at things from a purely theoretical perspective can make one feel far removed from the practical reality, which is often more complex. The MPP’s focus on real-life challenges and solutions has helped me to make the connection between theory and practical application.” Snowflakes are fallin' on the Aeroflot Open 2007".

[172] Rating [ edit ] I’ve spoken to a number of people who are convinced that Hou would have risen higher if she’d made the game her singular focus. “I believe she could have been top twenty,” Irina Bulmaga told me. Bulmaga admitted that a part of her was disappointed that Hou hadn’t done so. “The more you see, the more you believe maybe you could achieve it, too,” she said. Hou, though, speaks without regrets. Enkhtuul Altan-Ulzii, a Woman Grandmaster from Mongolia who is one of Hou’s closest friends, told me, “She is not actually results oriented. She plays for fun and enjoyment.”
