2nd Danzhou GM 2011

Here is what Mark Crowther at The Week in Chess said:

Mark Crowther - Tuesday 24th May 2011

The 2nd Danzhou tournament took place 15th-24th May 2011. Yu Yangyi was the clear winner with 7/9. After a lot of hard, and broadly successful, chess recently, probably in preparation for her match with Humpy Koneru Women's World Chess Champion Hou Yifan had a disaster coming last with 2/9.

To be fair, Hou was playing against her toughest competition todate.  She started out with a bang by winning the first game behind the white pieces against Zhou Weiqi.  That was her first and last victory. Even Zhou managed to garner 4 points in 9 games.
