WWCC08 - Quarterfinals Game 1
Sunday, September 7th, 2008The round-of-16 FIDE bulletin is ready, and the quarterfinals are underway.
- Kosteniuk - Ushenina (1/2 - 1/2)
- Koneru - Shen Yang (1 - 0)
- Mkrtchian - Hou Yifan (1/2 - 1/2)
- Stefanova - Cramling (0 - 1)
My pick for most exciting game of the day goes to Koneru’s for her well-calculated sacrificial (one piece after another) attack.
Junior 10.1 assigns exclamation marks to both 21.Bxg6 and 27.Nxd5. In other words, there’s no bluff to these shots!
