  An Englishman: Good Evening: Used to see ...a5 fairly often in tournaments and skittles. That move had already proved itself rather annoying half a century ago.

  Atterdag: Atwell's Rook lost its way. Apparently she didn't notice that 23.Bxd4 opened the d-file enabling 24.-Nc4 leaving her no possibility to guard the Bishop. Clever play by Mrs Yip, who continues her winning streak from the Olympiad very succesfully.
