  offramp: The last game to end on that day, by anyone playing at St Louis.

This was move 36.
The following ♖+♙ ending is exciting and interesting. I suppose it was both.

78. Ke6.
I did not immediately spot the only winning Black response here.

GG! Tough game for the 2 women.

  HeMateMe: I like how black played this opening. of the two isolated pawns white's was weaker. Of course Z worsened things by advancing that b pawn. the pawn was dog meat.

Good job by Yu of boxing out the white king.

Oct-21-22  Cheapo by the Dozen: It seems that White's big mistake was going with 31 Bb5 rather than Bb7, because the latter lets her probably get the a-pawn when the c-pawn goes.

I got this from Stockfish. I had guessed that the key issue was the tempo-wasting 30 e4, but it seems I was wrong.

Oct-21-22  Cheapo by the Dozen: Interesting endgame all the way through.
Oct-21-22  Cheapo by the Dozen: It's Not Where Yu Starts, It's Where Yu Ends Up
