unhandyandy: Radical solution: give black draw odds and have players make time bids on every game. |

unhandyandy: 1984 was a very different kind of match - unlimited duration. 4 out of the first 10 games were decisions, then Karpov foolishly insisted on winning 6-0, while Kasparov played for draws to recuperate. |

|
unhandyandy: tamar: nice observation, but don't forget these are rapid games, and she may have been under particular time pressure at move 57. |

Feb-19-17 S Ni vs N Pogonina, 2017 
|
unhandyandy: nerwal: good point, black may have had sound psychological reasons for rejecting 41...Qa6. I don't think psychology has anything to do with white not playing 42.Qc5 though. |

|
unhandyandy: Yes, a shame the game was decided that way. I wonder if it was nerves. |

|
unhandyandy: Yeah, you're right, I didn't look closely and was bemused by the rating difference. Googling Shiqun Ni I see she's only 19 and probably improving rapidly, so she can be expected to knock out much more highly rated opponents. |
