Judit lost today :'(
what happened?!?
Any chance you can analyse your sisters games and post them?!?
Only slight analysis would be great!!!! :)))
thank you if you do!
The biggest “what happened” was with Grischuk-Radjabov. I was peeking in occasionally and saw Grischuk building up a solid lead. Then, on move 54, Fritz would give Grischuk’s position a +12.85 if he played Qxc7–and he did! To finish the combination, he’d need 55. Rxf4 and the pressure would net at least a rook. Instead, he played Qxf4, which Fritz still thought was good enough for +3.61. Instead of running away with it, though, Grischuk liquidated to a simple draw a few moves later!
Super GMI Bu Xianghzi was too strong.
Judit is higher rated, but was black
