Agree! Took a quick look at most of the games, this one was def. my favorite. Will be rooting for her the rest of the tournament.

3 pawns :P
But yeah at the time you made that post I was not that sure aswell. Didn't really understand the killer knight / white bishop trade from Giri.
48.Re7 looks like a blunder to me though and houdini agrees. Giri gonna ship.
Also I think both Anne Haast & Lisa Schut will have a hard time in group C. (But tata is awesome at letting them play obv. best chess tournament in the world)
Anne Haast made the biggest mistake that I saw this round, not playing 22.....,Bxh3. No idea what she was thinking, missing 25.Qxf8 seems to easy.
Fun to watch some chess games btw, do you watch on the tatasteel site or is there a better way to watch the games with live commentary on ICC or something?
