Four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) did not lose her good mood after her unfortunate defeat in the second game of the “尚街杯” (“MEWE Cup”) 2017 World Champion Summit Chess Match underway in 深圳 (Shēnzhèn), China. “After a quiet opening, my opponent played a very interesting Exchange sacrifice in the early middlegame in order to not give White time to consolidate”, she told reporters. “Due to my Pawn weaknesses and a little lack of harmony in the position, Black may have some compensation”. Both players agreed that the decisive tactical mistake occurred at move 37, when the White Queen captured the Black e-Pawn. Had White taken the Knight with the Rook, the game would have continued with unclear chances for both colours.

And Chucky almost begged pardon for having so mercilessly taken advantage of the Queen’s wandering gaze. All photos: kaixian.tv.
