Am I counting right? As of the end of round 5, there have been 20 games, and only 4 draws! And in 5 games, Ms. Krush has no draws… Hmm, the way chess should be. I’m sure several of those games could have been draws if the ladies lacked fighting spirit and agreed to draw early in the game.
They’re giving a lesson in how tournament chess should be played.
In the first round of playoffs, the women had two decisive results and the men had two draws. But the men’s games were at slightly longer on average than the women’s, and I would say they were all hard fought.
