14:56 the most impressive thing about this game is that Ju Wenjun foresaw this position and evaluated it as a win for white. Rook and pawn endgames where one side is up one pawn is more often than not a draw. Even more surprising is that white doesn’t have a pass pawn and white’s king is less active than black’s and it is actually cut off from moving up the board by black’s rook.

Even more so that she needed to see this 12 moves back and induce g6 because it isn't winning if Firouzja has a reserve tempo to force her king back to f2 and can now reach a pawn ending where the king is 1 tempo too slow so he holds a draw.

Great recap! Usually your lines are over my head but this one was explained cleanly.

Caught the end of this game and Ju Wenjun's use of time to calculate this was impressive.

I love their game because of the extreme sharpness in their moves, and also considering they did not end in a draw despite the amount of time invested in their game. Wonderful win by GM Ju Wenju! 🎉👏🏻

Ju took Alireza not into a deep dark forest but all around the board, untill he fell off the edge. 😅

Wonderful game, brilliant endgame skills by ju wenjun, really enjoyed it.

Nice game. I did say earlier I want to see the only woman in the tournament, and the underdog in the 2500s (I think her rating is too low for her) do well and win one or two games, send someone's rating crashing. It didn't take long. The game against Giri was a bit unfortunate when Ju could have won or drew. She is playing quite well.

Ohh Alireza always wanted to gain more points so he would get back to 2800, unfortunately old times are gone.

It's not that women are bad at chess. It's that there is a sexual dynamic being undermined to everyone's detriment. Speaking only in terms of archetypes and generalities, a man wants to defeat a woman to impress her. Women have the maturity to handle losing to men and are more hardwired to be impressed by it. When a female beats a male, he is not usually impressed, and the female does not give them a sense of "yeah you lost but you can depend on me." That's how I look at it. I want to win so that I'm seen as dependable. Strictly in terms of intersex competition. :p I have no delusions about taking on any female player ranked higher than 2000. I'm not going to win. I would like a girl who IS that smart, but how do you date someone like that? I would always feel like they would be unfulfilled without a partner who is stronger than them. Keeping in mind chess is just a game and doesn't speak on overall intellect or competence. But in terms of primitive, r-complex based psychology, it's just not a good time for someone like me to lose to a woman. Women are not lacking in intellect, but generally speaking they do not have the same level of competitive drive as men. When a man beats me I know there is competitive blood in both of us and that we can both always get better and rise to the challenge. But when a woman beats you, it feels as though you're losing to someone who isn't even fully trying. I also think the less competitive nature of women makes them more defensive and balanced players; they don't get tunnel vision quite as easily as men do. Of course this is all more true for some people and less true for others. I don't mind a chess prodigy gf as long as she's nice to me. :')

She then played rook to e1 and basically won the endgame with the white king being one less square away from the h5 pawn. This is like 13 moves ahead and pretty accurate since the king was one square less away and able to reach before black could.
