  FSR: Weird game, both in that it opened with 1.b4 and that Maggie Feng played on until mate (a queen and rook down)! I see that she also played until mate in Maggie Feng vs I Krush, 2018, though that one wasn't <quite> as absurd.

  sleepyirv: Bronstein would have been proud of this knight sac for a pawnroller. Bronstein vs E Rojahn, 1956

  Penguincw: Jennifer Yu wasn't doing well entering this game. Sometimes, when you're struggling in a tournament (or perhaps in general/feel like you've hit your ceiling), it can help to change your opening(s).

She did that, and she's now back on track with a win. That pawn avalanche though...

(R.I.P. though to those of us who are placed money on US Championship: Weird First Moves)

  FSR: <Penguincw> I bet on "NO," alas. But even if Yu hadn't done us in with this game, Nakamura would have when he played 1.b3 against Shankland.
