It just went to 3-3. JMHO - the black pieces are only slightly darker than the white one's. If they're happy with this, fine, but I'd prefer more of a contrast in a match this important. .

After she completes her studies at Oxford, she's free, if she wishes, to return to chess.


Well, sort of, but not really. If one is a citizen of the People's Republic of China, they're not exactly "free" Just ask the folks Hong Kong and Taiwan how "free" they are- 😏
