What can one say except 'All Hail the Queen'! Hou Yifan was simply imperial as she scored in one game after another, taking clear first at the Biel International, in spite of a loss. Just fantastic.

Five-time World Champion Vishy Anand has been an example and an inspiration to Indians for decades, and super talents such as twelve-year-old IM Praggnanandhaa are the result. The young Indian is now the youngest ever to reach 2500, breaking a record that has held since 1989 (Judit Polgar).

There is no question that the return of Garry Kasparov overshadowed almost everything that happened in August, and understandably so. Although it wasn't the crushing return many had predicted or hoped for, perhaps the taste of competition will lure the great champion back for a few more, despite his protestations to the contrary. Nevertheless, one small stat does stand out: guess who is the oldest player on both the Rapid and Blitz lists?

Levon Aronian continued his amazing year with a win of the Saint Louis Rapid and Blitz. He gained 69 Blitz rating points, and moved up to world no. 3 as well.

Sergey Karjakin, the reigning World Blitz champion, was also in blistering form as he stormed with a breathtaking run during the blitz phase, making pundits and fans wonder whether he could overcome Aronian. Alas for his fans, it was not to be, but he did gain 82 rating points and is now clear world no.2 in blitz.
