JP Official Statement on Yifan Match

Chess websites presented it as BREAKING NEWS that a match between Judit and woman World Champion Hou Yifan had officially announced.

GM Hou Yifan vs. GM Judit Polgar Match in Sept. 26th - Oct. 2nd 2012 in China.

Probably 8 games (4 classical and 4 rapid)

The news is FALSE! JP at the moment is spending time with her sisters in Lubbock, Texas and never agreed to such match. Although there were negotiations when Judit was in China for the World Team Championship last year, an agreement was not made, and Judit has not been approached by the Chinese side since then. She surely has never signed any kind of contract regarding this match. If there is a real determination for such a historic clash, than she waits to hear about it in an appropriate way. Until then she just enjoys time with her family!
