Can Yifan win this one?
No; Yifan will remain the cellar dweller
Yifan finally broke through…the draw and the win can only be beneficial for her state of mind. I think she’ll be fine now.
Good for her….she needed to break through. And I think she did just that.
Hou broke through a HUGE psychological barrier. She’ll be fine now.
