Re: 2018 Women's World Championship
Just played through it; looks like a smooth performance
Is there any analysis anywhere of the games?

Not analysis as such, but after making the g5 break, it was interesting to see that Lagno's 12 consecutive rook moves (30-41) which seemed to disorientate the defence and make something out of not a lot.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 4:47 pmJust played through it; looks like a smooth performance

Re: 2018 Women's World Championship
I completely missed that game three was today (I think I managed to convince myself it was a rest day) and I seem to have missed much of a cracker, Lagno playing the King's Indian and Ju missing at least one win. Currently we're at move 41 and Black is fighting for a draw.

...which she has achieved. Another one with White and she's the champion.

Lagno has just blundered in a level position and mate is imminent, so it looks like tiebreaks tomorrow.

Winning with Black to save a world title, how often has that happened?

Re: 2018 Women's World Championship
I am getting myself confused here as the official site schedule has the tie-break starting two hours earlier than the previous games. However 1300 Ugra time is 1000 GMT which is surely the time all the other games have kicked off.

Still, whatever the advertised times, we're playing all right

Re: 2018 Women's World Championship
You are looking at the wrong Ugra I think, there is more than one. Khantiy-Mansiysk is 5 hours ahead of GMT, and they have indeed just started.

Yeah that seems likely - I Googled Ugra time - but what set me off in the first place was that I went to Chess24 a few minutes before eight your time, and their countdown clock was at a little more than two hours!

Second game and Lagno deliberately goes into an opposite coloured bishop endgame once more. Morozevich: "Switch off your mobile, switch off your engine, they will do you no good, this is real chess!"

Second game drawn 3-3 and we're now in the two 10' + 10" games. A time limit described by the commentators as a "slow blitz".

More properly "quick rapid", I would have thought.Chris Rice wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 10:26 amSecond game drawn 3-3 and we're now in the two 10' + 10" games. A time limit described by the commentators as a "slow blitz".
