Aug-01-10		whiteshark: "Tarrash variation of French defense has developed. Black blundered a tactic and lost a pawn. After some changes were made, an advantage of White became noticeable: two-bishop and extra-pawn. <Yifan: I did not know much about the opening. After Xu made a mistake Qc7, I managed to gain a pawn and in the end I won. As I think, she should have played Qc5. <Xu: Today I did not play well; I made a serious mistake and subsequently lost the game." >> tournament bulletin
