Kibitzer's Corner
May-11-13  xanadu: Hou plays only 1.e4 with White and Ushenina exclusively answer 1...c5: Sicilian between them was expected. Since Hou´s play is based on tactics and this season she is having a lack of precise calculation under time pressure, the results of her games with Ushenina are hard to predict in spite of the Elo difference.
May-12-13  cbbishop: Wasn't 30. Qxc5 a blunder? Looks like white wins with 30. Nxc8
May-14-13  dx9293: Hmmm...Anna sending a message to her opponent in the upcoming Women's World Championship match!
Sep-20-13  actinia: <bbishop> I think after 30. Nxc8 Bxf2+ black is just up two pawns.

and sheesh, why bother playing on after Rxf1+? a loss is a loss is a loss
