 (1) Hou,Yifan - Ushenina,Anna [B51]
Fondation Neva Women's Grand Prix Geneva (8.3), 11.05.2013
[MIKHALCHISHIN]
It was a game of the tournament for both players-in September they will play match for World Championship title in home city of Hou Yifan.So,this game was a real warming up for girls or ,maybe,game 0!Moment zero.Now they really understand the power of the opponent.I would not overestimate or underestimate the result.Of course,it can have different impact on players and it is not clear what is better. Of course,it always good to win,but...Let us wait and enjoy their fantastic fight! |

 (1) Muzychuk,Anna - Kosintseva,Tatiana [C68]

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 Very interesting choice of Muzychuk ,as Kosinceva is big specialist of main lines and Muzychuk herself is the best technician among girls.So,her idea to play Fischer variation is fantastic technical and psychological choice! 4...dxc6 5.0–0 Bd6 This line became popular recently,but in my opinion it is much more passive than other lines.
