She's like the Rodney Dangerfield of chess "she don't get no respect" World champion eliminated by – a woman! 03.04.2002 The inaugural FIDE Grand Prix in Dubai started with a bang. The reigning FIDE world champion was eliminated by the reigning women's world champion. Zhu Chen could have easily won 2-0 (but 1.5-0-5 was enough) for the first-ever victory of a woman over a world champion in any competitive sport. You will find games, results and pictures from Dubai here http://www.chessbase.com/events/events.asp?pid=121 > Since Zhu chen has won the womens world championship Chessbase almost never >mentions her, but constantaly taughts the loser Kosteniuk, Today, Zhu Chens name >shows up in an article by chessbase and there is not even a mention that she is >the world champion, because they don't care. Why can't respect be given where >it is do. Zhu chen Congratulations on being the World Champion!!
