Xie Jun belongs to the record of chess as a competitor whose results still define part of the sport.
The record lists Xie Jun as Chinese chess player.
Xie Jun was born at Baoding in 1970. Her recorded nationality is People's Republic of China.
Twenty questions, eight minutes on the clock, and a percentile measured against everyone who has taken it. No sign-up.
Take the IQ test →By this period sport was fully international, televised and politicised, and an athlete's reach extended far past the field of play.
She competed at Women's Chess Olympiad 1988, Women's Chess Olympiad 1990 and Women's Chess Olympiad 1992.
Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.
That the career was built from People's Republic of China matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
What survives is the record itself - times, placings and titles that later competitors still measure themselves against.
