La Storia

Victoire historique de 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán)! A l’exception de Judit Polgár, aucune joueuse n’avait gagné un tournoi aussi important. Elle a battu le bourreau de Vishy Anand par le score sans appel de 2-0. Sergey Fedorchuk a pourtant tout tenté pour égaliser, mais la force tactique de la chinoise a eu raison de son acharnement. 500 personnes, debout, ont longuement ovationné la championne du monde qui les a conquis par son talent et sa disponibilité. Le plus dur restait à faire pour elle, signer des dizaines d'autographes à de jeunes, et moins jeunes, fans. [Read more].

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 g6. Playing the Dragon is obviously highly symbolic... 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nxd4 Bg7 6. Be3 Nf6 7. Be2 0-0 8. f4 d6 9. Nb3 a6. More usual is 9. ... a5 10. a4 Be6 11. 0-0 Rc8 with fairly even chances. 10. g4. For 10. a4 Be6 11. 0-0 Rc8 12. f5 Bxb3 13. cxb3 Nb4 14.

Qe6 with even prospects. 34. ... Qf3! 35. Qxf3 exf3 36. Rf4 Re1+ 37. Kc2 Re2+ 38. Kb3 f2

39. Ka3? The decisive mistake. More resilient was 39. Rf6, even though after 39. ... Ke7 40. Ka3 Re5 41. Rxf2 Rxg5 Black’s extra Pawn will tell pretty soon in the endgame. 39. ... f5!

Ligne de Bastia à Ajaccio

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].
