Corsica Finals: Hóu Yìfán vs. Sergey Fedorchuk
Dennis Monokroussos, The Chess Mind, October 20, 2014 [...] Hóu Yìfán made things as difficult for herself as possible before qualifying for the finals. As she did yesterday, she began her quarterfinal match with Martyn Kravtsiv by losing with the white pieces. As yesterday, she won the rematch and then won the blitz playoff 2-0. In the semi-final round she unexpectedly played Robert Ruck, who had defeated second seed Ivan Saric 1½–½, winning the second game with the pieces. In the Hóu–Ruck match Hóu broke the pattern by winning the first game with White, but the overall pattern of needing to suffer continued intact. She lost the second game, and then lost the first blitz game to boot – both losses were with Black. She won the second blitz game, and then it was time for an Armageddon game. She had White and five minutes against Ruck’s four minutes and draw odds, and she came through with a good win. [Read more]. |
