Nf4 13. d4 Ne7 14. Ng3 Neg6 15. Bc2 c6 16. Nf5 Re8 17. Nh2 h5 18. Kh1? With this sophisticated move, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) lets her advantage slip. Much stronger was 18. Nf3! c5 19. dxe5 dxe5 20. Qd6 with a definite edge for White. 18. ... d5! 19. dxe5
19. ... Qg5? But Black misses the resourceful sacrifice 19. ... Rxe5 20. Bd4 dxe4! which would give him more than enough compensation for the Exchange. 20. Ng3 h4 21. Nf3 Qh6 22. Nf5 Qg5?? Threatening mate, but... 23. Nxg5 1 : 0.
