No moves so far today?

The game looked holdable until another g5 but no real analysis to back that up.

Ju's turn to play weakly in the opening but that was a very nicely played queen ending from Tan winning on move 125(!)

Today's game heading drawwards as far as I can see - and indeed before I hit Submit, there's the handshake.

In game 6 Ju Wenjun - Tan Zhongyi



Black played 78...f5

Final position Black has just played. 125...Qf2-f1+



Very nearly saved, three moves short of the 50 move rule.

Nearly: Ju missed a fairly clear win that a 2500 player probably should see.
