A Board With a View

Yesterday 17th Women’s World Chess Champion 居文君 (Jū Wénjūn) (pictured above, right) has been spending a goodly part of her day off next to Grandmaster Pavel Vladimirovich Tregubov (pictured above, left), one of the two commentators (together with Alexander Sergeyevich Morozevich) of the Women’s World Chess Championship Knockout Tournament, supporting him to provide live coverage of the two tie-breaks. And given that Tregubov is also the husband of Alexandra Konstantinovna Kosteniuk — who was playing the tie-break against Anna Olehivna Muzychuk — such a help cannot but be regarded as a noble treasury of Chinese kindness.
