Women's world chess champion GM Ju Wenjun and GM Lei Tingje, her Chinese compatriot and challenger in the 12-game title match now underway in Shanghai, are well matched.
Separated by just a few ratings points and boasting equally strong tactical and technical skills, Ju and Lei struggled to secure any sizable advantage in the first four games played. The challenger was finally able to break through with a nice win in Tuesday’s Game 5 to seize an early 3-2 lead.
White’s pressure pays off with perhaps the first significant error by either player in the match: 44. Qe2 g6 45. e5! Qa8? 46. Qf3! f5 47. Rd7 Ra7 48. Qxa8+ Rxa8 49. e6! Rxa4 50. Rb7 Ra8 51. Rxb6 c4 52. Rc6 Bd8 53. b6, and Black’s pushed-back pieces can’t put up any real resistance. Frank Marshall, one of Morphy’s great successors and the reigning U.S. champ for decades, tied for first at the 1923 event, but his co-winner, Belarus-born emigre Abraham Kupchik, deserves to be better known. Kupchik was one of the strongest players on the American interwar chess scene, Manhattan Chess Club champ a record 13 times and a key contributor to the 1935 U.S. gold medal-winning Olympiad squad.
Thus: 22. Rf1 Ne7 23. d4 b5?! 24. dxe5 fxe5 25. Rad1 Rf6 26. exd5 Bxd5? 27. Qg4 Be6 28. Qh4 Rh8 , setting the stage for a nice combination.
