        She is just lucky. Or maybe they were distracted by her amazing beauty. Or maybe distracted by the famous Gibraltar monkeys. Or maybe these are all the same thing. Who knows?

          Yes it can be anything EXCEPT she may be actually good.

        I hope she can hang on. Must be terrible pressure on her right now.
        Hope she can deal with it. I always liked that unasuming kid.

        Exactly. It is all luck, why don’t we see too many players beat 4 2700 all the time? she is 4.5/6 against 6 2700. She could have easily drew the game she lost, oh that wasn’t luck, it was her playing like a girl. LOL
