DaeWang: This was a grandmasterful positional crush. W got a slightly cramped position (bad QN) out of the opening, and B never let her find even a sniff of play (let alone counterplay). |

DaeWang: 9. ... c5 is ?, then 10. Qa4 is ??; better is 9. ... Nd7, which loses 'only' the exchange. In fact, better than 9. Ba3 is 9. Bg5, which more or less forces 9. ... Qd7, which occupies d7 so the N can't go there, then 10. Bh6 Qe7 11. Qxf8+ wins the exchange AND removes the queens. |
