[With apologies to Abbott and Costello]- Who's the current Women's World Chess Champion?
- Yes.
- I said, who's the current...
- That's right.
- Well?
- Hou.
- So why don't you tell me?
- I just did.
- Sorry, who is the reigning women's champion?
- I think we agree on this. Can we talk about something else?
- Wait a minute. You're saying that the Women's World Chess Champion is someone called "Hou"?
- You've finally got it. Congratulations. Hou Yifan. Very strong young Chinese woman.
- So she's the current champion?
- No.
- But you just said she was.
- No, Xie isn't.
- Who isn't?
- No, Hou is. Xie was Women's World Champion in the 90s.

- One of those Chinese players certainly won a nice game today!
- How?
- That's right.
- I said, how?
- Yes, he did.
- Wait, we've been here before. Don't tell me, there's a Chinese player called...
- Hao. Wang Hao. Strong supergrandmaster. Put away Giri in 22 moves with a speculative Bf7 sacrifice.
- Did you see it live?
- Well, I would imagine so.
- I'm sorry?
- Since he's in the same event, I'm sure he would have.
- Who would have?
- Not Hou, Yue.
- Me?
- No, Yue.
