Not junior or women's title, either. Love the reference to Judit Polgar
winning the Hungarian championship in 1960!!

Wonder girl bags H.K. title
By Manny BenitezTODAY Chess Columnist
A 13-year-old Eurasian girl, Anya Corke, has won the National Chess
Championship of Hong Kong, scoring 9.5 points from 11 games.
The only child of an English father and a British-Chinese mother, Anya could
be the world's youngest person -- and a girl at that -- ever to win a
national chess crown (Hong Kong, a former British colony, is now a special
administrative region of China, with its own national chess federation
separate from that of the mainland).
Hong Kong's wonder girl is its first female chess champion. She swept
through the 11-round tournament with nine wins, one draw and only one loss.
The first girl to wear her country's national chess crown was Judit Polgar
of Hungary, who did it at 15 in 1960, enabling her to break by three months
American legend Bobby Fischer's record as the youngest person to earn the
grandmaster's title.
Corke, whose parents are lecturers at the University of Hong Kong who moved
to the former British colony from France three years ago, was adjudged
second best junior, next only to Wen Gehua of China, in the Bangkok Open,
won by GM Joey Antonio.
As Hong Kong champion, she is expected to be its board one player in the
upcoming 36th World Chess Olympiad in Calvia, Majorca, Spain, in October.
A Filipino engineer, Edwin Borigas, finished fourth in the Hong Kong title
series, next to Corke, Brian Dew and Jeff Leclercq. Borigas played on board
one in the Asian Cities held in Tagaytay three months ago.
Meanwhile, World Chess Championship finalists Michael Adams of England and
Rustam Kasimdzhanov of Uzbekistan rested on Friday (Saturday in Manila),
with the score tied at 1.5-1.5 from one win, lone draw and one loss each.In
the 12th World Computer Chess Championship being held at the Bar-Ilan
University in Ramat-Gan, Israel, Deep Junior led after six rounds with 5.0
points from four wins and two draws, followed by Shredder with 4.0 and
Fritz, along with six other machines tied for the third to eighth places
with 3.5 each.
Here is a model game won by Junior, with White against Sjeng in the sixth
round:
After 21.Rfc8
22 Nxb5! Better than 22 Bxb5, e.g., .Nxe4 23 Bd2 axb4 24 Bxd7 Qxd7 25 cxb4
f5!, and Black has equalized Bxb5 23 Bxb5 axb4 24 cxb4 Nxe4 25 Bc6 Qb8 26
Rxa8 Qxa8 27 Qd3 f5 28 Qb5 Rb8 29 Qf1! Qa3 30 Ra1 Qxb4 31 Rb1 Qa3 32 Rxb7
Rxb7 33 Bxb7 f4 34 Qc1 Qc3 35 Qxc3 Nxc3 36 Bd2 Ne4 37 Ba5 Nc5 38 Bc8 Nb3 39
Be6+! Kf8 40 Bb4 Nc5 41 Bxc5 dxc5 42 Nxe5! Ke8 43 Kf1 Bf8 44 Ke2! 1-0.
