The event's dignitaries preside over the opening
The mammoth Chinese Chess League Division A continued its run, and three more rounds were played out this week, reaching round seven of the full 22 to be completed. All the top Chinese players are there, though Hou Yifan continues to struggle with her form, possibly from fatigue as a result of the non-stop playing and traveling.

The playing hall
The top player of the event is reigning three-time Chinese champion, Ding Liren, whose performance exceeds 2800. The 19-year-old's play and talent is hardly in question, and one wonders merely when he will break into the 2700 club, not if.
19 years old and already three consecutive Chinese Championship titles: Ding Liren
Among the women, WGM Zhao Xue has been overperforming after playing all seven rounds, though in terms of pure performance, Russian Valentina Gunina, the Women World Rapid and Blitz champion is ahead, albeit with four rounds played.
