Another Night, Another Day

After the third game of the “尚街杯” (“MEWE Cup”) 2017 World Champion Summit Chess Match underway in 深圳 (Shēnzhèn), China Vassily Mykhaylovych “Chucky” Ivanchuk is leading 2 to 1, so four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) will have to play all out tomorrow in order to equalise the score and reach the tie-break. And she, indeed, promises a radical change of strategy: “I am behind. If I do not win tomorrow’s game, then it’s all over, there will be no other days”, she told reporters. “So, tomorrow, I will have to put up a fight to the very end, and I’m gonna do it”.
