A few years later Bu easily won in the Chinese junior championship and went on to achieve success in the international arena: he won 3rd place in the U12 World Youth Championship in 1997 and 1st place in the U14 World Youth Championship in 1998. In 1999 he achieved three GM norms within only two months, which made him the youngest grandmaster at the time, at the age of 13 years 10 months and 13 days, a record that was only broken two years later by GM Sergey Karjakin . In 2000, Bu defeated the Azerbaijani chess talent Teimour Radjabov by 6½-1½ in an eight-game Future World Champions Match organized by Garry Kasparov and was considered a super talent for future world champion contender. In 2004, Bu became the chess champion of China. -

FIDE GRAND PRIX (2008/9) REPORT for DRESDEN GENERAL ASSEMBLY - November 2008
FIDE GRAND PRIX (2008/9) REPORT FOR DRESDEN GENERAL ASSEMBLY - November 2008 1.0 INTRODUCTION The introduction of the FIDE Grand Prix for the top players in the world has proven to be a success. It has not only complemented nicely the chess calendar filling in certain holes we had but secondly, it has given a number of younger “unknown” players the opportunity to play super tournaments and prove their capacity to advance in the world rankings. The overall ranking on the next page shows the very positive performance of two of these new chess forces GM Wang Yue from China and GM Vugar Gashimov from Azerbaijan. All players taking part have commented favourably on the experience and opportunity to play in the Grand Prix series. The launch of this series has now led to the development of a similar series for Women who will be given the same opportunity to play in four tournaments over two years (out of six total tournaments). The challenge in the near future is to now attract overall sponsorship for the series and this can be satisfactorily achieved once the cycle is over and sponsors / organizers can review the media and exposure that was achieved with the current series. 2.0 EVENTS AND RESULTS Two events have so far been held for the FIDE Grand Prix series 2008/9 which sees 21 of the world’s top players taking part in a cycle of six tournaments over two years. The first event was held successfully in Baku, Azerbaijan between the 20th April 2008 and 5th May 2008. -
Hastings International Chess Congress
Hastings International Chess Congress Hastings Masters winner Wang Yue, with Amber Rudd MP (left) and Cllr. Maureen Charlesworth Chess Moves presents - in chronological order - a series of reports from Stewart Reuben on the Hastings International Chess Congress. It all begins with ... Round 1. Where games are referenced in Stewart’s text, many of them may be found at the Hastings Congress website - www.hastingschess.com Wang Yue (CHN) 2697 is the first Chinese player to have taken part in Hastings for some years. He is also the highest rated player ever to have participated in the Masters. In Britain we don’t believe in absurd first round clashes with a difference of over 400 rating points. But with such a high rated player as Wang Yue it is impossible to avoid very nearly such a difference in rating.There are other reasons for using Accelerated Pairings: it is more likely players will be able to achieve a GM norm; the disconcerting and unfair bouncing effect for players just below the top (Continued on Page 3) Publications that are produced by volunteers.

THE CHINESE SOUL in CONTEMPORARY JEWELRY DESIGN Andrew Lucas, Merilee Chapin, Moqing Lin, and Xiaodan Jia
FEATURE AR ICLES THE CHINESE SOUL IN CONTEMPORARY JEWELRY DESIGN Andrew Lucas, Merilee Chapin, Moqing Lin, and Xiaodan Jia When the same gems and precious metals are used in jewelry, design is the element that ultimately dis- tinguishes one piece from another. Real success is measured not only by the value of its materials but also by the character and quality of the design and craftsmanship. Once considered a weak point of China’s gem and jewelry industry, design has seen tremendous progress over the last decade. Benefiting from the availability of more gem materials and the power of a rapidly growing consumer market, Chi- nese designers now have the freedom to develop their design concepts and craftsmanship skills. De- signers from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan share the bond of cultural identity and have found ways to create jewelry that expresses the Chinese soul. rom dangling hair ornaments to exquisite jade This lack of innovation caused a sense of stagna- pendants and splendid crowns, jewelry has al- tion, which led some industry pioneers to find a new Fways served as personal adornment for the Chi- approach.

Representing Talented Women in Eighteenth-Century Chinese Painting: Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instruction at the Lake Pavilion
REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION By Copyright 2016 Janet C. Chen Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler ________________________________ Amy McNair ________________________________ Sherry Fowler ________________________________ Jungsil Jenny Lee ________________________________ Keith McMahon Date Defended: May 13, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Janet C. Chen certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler Date approved: May 13, 2016 ii Abstract As the first comprehensive art-historical study of the Qing poet Yuan Mei (1716–97) and the female intellectuals in his circle, this dissertation examines the depictions of these women in an eighteenth-century handscroll, Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instructions at the Lake Pavilion, related paintings, and the accompanying inscriptions. Created when an increasing number of women turned to the scholarly arts, in particular painting and poetry, these paintings documented the more receptive attitude of literati toward talented women and their support in the social and artistic lives of female intellectuals. These pictures show the women cultivating themselves through literati activities and poetic meditation in nature or gardens, common tropes in portraits of male scholars. The predominantly male patrons, painters, and colophon authors all took part in the formation of the women’s public identities as poets and artists; the first two determined the visual representations, and the third, through writings, confirmed and elaborated on the designated identities.
