Yup.
Can't say I fancy Tan's chances of getting after a win today.

If it wasn't for the nice stalemate trick after 45.....f4 it could have been worse.JustinHorton wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 9:14 amYup.

Ju leads 5-4 so Tan must win with black to keep the match going.LawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 1:00 pmIf it wasn't for the nice stalemate trick after 45.....f4 it could have been worse.JustinHorton wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 9:14 amYup.

Re: Women's World Championship
You'd have thought that unlikely, but there have been 3 black wins to 2 with white (with only 4 draws, not what we are used to with the men, not sure whether this is more typical with the women's matches)LawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 1:12 pmJu leads 5-4 so Tan must win with black to keep the match going.LawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 1:00 pmIf it wasn't for the nice stalemate trick after 45.....f4 it could have been worse.JustinHorton wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 9:14 amYup.

It could well come down who handles the pressure the best. Ju may yet rue the chances that have come and gone in recent games.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 2:45 pmYou'd have thought that unlikely, but there have been 3 black wins to 2 with white (with only 4 draws, not what we are used to with the men, not sure whether this is more typical with the women's matches)LawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 1:12 pmJu leads 5-4 so Tan must win with black to keep the match going.LawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 1:00 pm

Re: Women's World Championship
The computer thinks Black is worse after ....e5, and also thought she should have gone for ....d5 (and that White should have pre-empted it with Bf4 and e5). You can see what it's getting at, as you might expect White to be strong on the d-file and the a2-g8 diagonal from here, with Black pawns breaks perhaps doing more harm than good?

Re: Women's World Championship
Hre we are at the time control, Ju's a pawn up, Tan has no play and no prospect of any and I wonder how much longer she'll string it out for.

And Ju is the new champion. Never a sniff for Tan in the final game.
