It's been showing 1-0 since the start of the game so nothing to worry about.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Thu Oct 30, 2025 2:47 pmLichess showing an 8 move loss for her today, was it phone related?

I noticed that my former county junior and university collegue Clifford Shaw, now of the Cayman Islands, is playing in the Over 65. Today he won a piece on move 8 in a rarely seen trap, but could only draw after according to the lichess Stockfish missing a couple of forced mates.
Here's the first 8 moves.
8. .. Ng4 has to be played although it's not very pleasant. Most players reaching the move 8 position found it.

Cramling lost
1.5 points clear with 2 rounds left
Crossed with Loz's post
Klinova is 1.5 points behind too, but Ketevan beat her, so has a tiebreak advantage over her

Ketevan drew in round 10 so will be at least a point clear heading into the last round where she will have white. Cramling is the only player who can close to within a point of her as Klinova has just drawn.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Thu Oct 30, 2025 6:02 pmNow showing a 38 move drawLawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Thu Oct 30, 2025 4:34 pmIt's been showing 1-0 since the start of the game so nothing to worry about.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Thu Oct 30, 2025 2:47 pmLichess showing an 8 move loss for her today, was it phone related?
