Chezka is a super-elite talent, but at least to this point, she hasn't achieved the kind of things of which we all felt her capable. Mentioning her with the best of her own generations is delusional.
Siming Chen tends to get more press than Han Yu, mostly because she once mixed it up with Shane and survived. In fact, Siming Chen, in my opinion, is the women's game's most talented player, but greatness is measured in titles, and Han Yu has to be the most underrated woman pool player of all time. For most of her career, the five hardest events to win in women's pool have surely been the WPA World 9-ball, the China Open, the WPA World 10ball, the All Japan and the World Games.
Han Yu has three WPA World 9-ball titles, four China Open titles, and two All-Japan titles, despite taking a couple of years off for maternity. By comparison, Siming Chen has a World 9-ball title, two China Open titles, two All Japan titles, and a World Games gold medal.
Hence, Han Yu has 9 super-majors, Siming Chen has 6 super-majors. Chezka, at 26, is a few years younger than the other two, but she has just one and will have to start producing much more at the super-majors to be remembered as an all-time great. Wishing her the best.
