Women World Chess Championship is a 6 round knockout event, held in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia from 3 to 23 November. Out of 64 players, only Kateryna Lagno and Ju Wenjun have survived. They are battling in a 4-game final.

As you might recall, Lagno won a fantastic positional masterpiece in game 2. Ju Wenjun was close to striking back in game 3, but she missed several victories and let Lagno escape.

Thus, she found herself in a desperate situation. Bad psychological state and Black pieces in a must win game. Check the video and see how he managed to cope with this.

I will pretend I haven't spoiled the result with the title. Let me just add - it is a highly dramatic and attractive attacking game
