In this episode of Roads Less Travelled, our host Sophie Ryan speaks to Yifan Hou, one of the most remarkable figures in the history of chess. Yifan became a Grandmaster at the age of 14, the youngest ever female player to qualify for that title, and today she is regarded as the best active female chess player in the world. Roads Less Travelled, hosted by Sophie Ryan, is a series of conversations with remarkable individuals who have in one way or another, taken a road less travelled to discover their vocation. The aim behind the podcast is to share stories, with the hope that through these stories we can shine a light on some practical wisdom for those of us who are currently forging our own path.
