For example, in 1937, Vera Menchik literally crushed Sonia with a score of 11.5: 4,5. It is noticeable that after 9 parties of that match the account was similar to the final account of the present match. Another example is from 1962, when Nona Haprindashvili stone on the stone has not left Elizabeth Bykova from the defensive constructs: 9: 2. At the same time, after 9 parties, the score was already 7: 2 in favor of the Georgian chess player. In 1975, Gaprindashvili with a score of 8.5: 3.5 beat NASACANDRIY (by the way, sincere thanks to Nana Georgian Alexandria for the stick support of Ukraine in the war with the Russians, the love of Ukrainian language and work of Taras Shevchenko), then after 9 parties were 6.5: 2,5. And then this Jun confidently played Nana Joselen in 1993, and after 3 years, in turn, Zhuzh Polgar had a devastating defeat already Juni herself. In 2013, Anna Ushenina, unfortunately, could not oppose Hou Ifan: 1.5: 5.5. However, if you take the duels of the late 2010-early 2020s, they were all surprisingly competitive. It was expected that the current match would take a place in this row. But it did not happen as it thought.
The 12-party format of the duel involved two stages: in the hometown of rivals, first at home the current champion-in 25 million Shanghai, and later in the hometown of the exchmpion-32 million Cunzin.
Getty Images/Global Images Ukraine After a draw in the 1st Party, Tan felt ended in the 2nd party and was able to hold her pawns before the desired 8th horizontal. However, the defeat was only angry. Before the match, she said, “We know each other since childhood, so it will be a very interesting match.” However, this knowledge was absolutely helped by the natives of Shanghai, but about the curiosity of the match she was wrong in her prediction, but it is unlikely that it was upset. The 3rd Party Jui won in a brilliant style, creating 2 varieties of passage pawns. In the 4th Party, Tan had an unleashed advantage, but at some point she had already self-confidently spent the chessboard and lost it, as a result, the rival was played in that party to the naked kings. But the last two home parties, Jui won into one wicket, clutching firmly in the weakness of the opponent’s position: at first skillfully proved the preference of the elephant and the horse over the tour, and in the future in the horse endshpil confidently realized the advantage of the superfluous pawn.
The second half of the match was provided for two non -game days: the chess players had to move to Chunzin and take a little breath. However, the panel did not go for the benefit of the work: the home walls did not. In the 7th party (by the way, the symbolic 1st course for the white in it was made by the 11th World Champion and the current Secretary General Cynically drove to the trap) became fatal. And the next day, Jui rightly decided that two dangerous passing pawns are much better than a horse and brought the party to victory. So the world champion won in 4 parties in a row! There was no such long -lasting victorious series in matches for the women’s chess crown yet! Instead, there were 5 consecutive parties in the match between the same players in 2018 (the geography of its holding, by the way), but the victory in that series was divided almost evenly.
In the 9th Party, Tan used Sicilian protection, and the world champion, which was arranged by a draw in the party, received a small advantage at the exit of her debut. However, she did not insist on her maintenance. In the end, the black position was leveled, and the party went to a absolutely draw end. On the 38th course, a draw was recorded, which showed that Jui Wenzun Uzun became the world champion. By title, she has already caught up with the legendary Georgians of Nona Haprindashvili and Maya Chibbodanidze, whose assets are also 5 champion titles. However, to the 8-time world champion, Vir Menchik is still a short distance. It is not possible to say about the reign in world chess: Menchik was at the top of 17 years, Gaprindashvili – 16, Chubanidze – 13. Zui so far by this indicator (7 years) only caught up with her compatriot, Czeng and the Soviet chess player of Outlezvet. It began with him after a very unsuccessful speech by Bykova at the USSR Championship in 1951 in Kiev).
At the same time, I remain in my opinion: best for all other women now plays chessh Ifan (the current 1st number of the world women’s rating, Jui-2nd, and Tan after a devastating defeat dropped from 3rd to 5th place), but at one time she decided not to insist on her role in women. Competitions (in 2017, in particular, a chess tournament in the Swiss city pain was won, where men from the leading world 20 were involved, it was not a fairy tale, namely pain!), Where much money was spinning, and training (Oxford University is worthy of that, right?) Faculty of Shenzhen University).
We do not expect women’s chess to neglect women’s chess. She has higher education in the field of economy (Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Tan of Zhunya, by the way, at one time graduated from the school of the right of the same educational institution) and at the same time an unrestrained desire to continue to conquer chess peaks. Before the current match, Jui said that she was motivated by a 5-time world champion. The goal is achieved! But the motivation to exceed the number of championship titles of legendary Georgians – even more ambitious landmark, isn’t it? And when you are 34, and you are so confidently taking the mountain over the craftsman (as it seemed, the closest to you by chess sleep among women, if you take the kou andfan for brackets), then some obstacles to the implementation and the next victorious plan to find. But so far, Jui celebrates his 5-time (although the Grasmaster of Hua, who at one time spent a lot of time working with her, and separated seclusion as one of its main features, along with the hard work and thirst for knowledge, and less than …) and the acquisition of 60% of half a million, if you count. For the tag of the same Tan in 2018, in the match for the world chess crown, it received 120 thousand euros, state that the financial progress of such matches for 7 years is very noticeable!
Well, 50 years ago, China joined Fide, and now this country is one of the leading chess nations in the world. And the women’s world championship – so a convincing testimony!
