I usually pay attention to the main chess competitions, since I extract material from them to prepare my lessons. So I followed the duel between Ju Wenjun and Lei Tingjie. I liked the victory of the challenger, an exemplary game. But I loved the triumph of the world champion in game twelve. Because she didn't play thinking of tiebreak. In that game, we saw an imbalanced position where White had two passed pawns on the queenside facing Black’s central pawn mass. She was determined to take the point and retain the crown. This is, of course, my opinion. What do you think?
I think a Chinese girl won.
@Professor74 I think this match, like the match Ding Liren vs. Ian Nepomniachtchi, are nice rays of light in the middle of a night filled with matches played with extreme caution and little commitment to play to win.
A really hard fought, well deserved! The women's world champion preserves her title!
Lei Tingjie fought well, she put pressure on her opponent in the first games. But then Ju Wenjun's fighting spirit arose.
I must highlight the fighting spirit and commitment to win from both grandmasters. We want more duels like this!
