Chain is the current Fide Secretary while the Yuhua is the General Secretary of the Chinese Chess Association.
Sunday’s result means that the score in the Women’s World Chess Championship is 1.5–1.5 after three matches.
How played game 3
In Game 2, Xu Wenjun had an endgeam blunder to allow Tan to take a 1.5–0.5 lead.
Game 3 had a repetition of the first game Sisilian, where the World Champion 3.C4, Cramanic Variation, a rare sideline is sometimes seen at the highest level, which included the Carlson-Karuana World Championship match during the match. This was a curious option, as the figures take black side in this line. Tan Jhongi stopped to consider his response, and soon the players entered a completely unwanted place. It was clear that both of them had dropped out of the preparation of the house, as they started using important times on their moves.
Black made an important error with 60… BC6? The idea of trading miscreants was correct, but execution was flawed. It was not necessary to remove safety from F7-PAWN and keep the King of White in the Gulf with 60 … Re2! The key is to complete 61.kg5 with 61 … Re4! As played, after 61.kg5, the problem decreased. 61… ra4 intermediate failed for 62.be5+, and after 62… Ke7 63.RB2, White preserved the miscreants-a significant details, a pure opposite colored bishop and would be likely to end in a draw. From there, the plan of Zoo was clear: her Raja ji was advanced in 7, the crooks remained active, and C-pone became an increasing threat. In contrast, there was a counterplay active in Black. Its weak F7-PAWN and advances were very high to handle C-PAWN.
