Position after 51. Re4-e5
With her last move, 朱锦尔 (Zhū Jǐn’ěr), who wanted to win at all costs, went seriously overboard, and Goryachkina didn’t let the opportunity slip away.
51. ... Kh8! A brilliant example of attacking prophylaxis, in the best style of Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov. Now Black actually threatens ... Be6-g4, with no longer fear of a check after c4-c5.
52. Ke3. Suddenly the White King finds itself in a sea of trouble. Needless to say, the text is not a good one, but 52. Kg2 Rf6! is not cheerful either.
52. ... Bd7! 53. Re4 Bxc6 54. bxc6 Qg3 55. Qf2 Qxg6 56. d5 Qf6 57. Qe2
