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. .

Look for another to follow Kimia Alizadeh's recent defection.

@Duchess64

well maybe so, but she's a persona non grata...

@Duchess64

don't you remember her protest about playing against too many female opponents? Threw the last game..lost in 3 or 4 moves..

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- 😏
