Hey, young chess fans! 🏆 Guess what? Ju Wenjun from China has just won her fifth world championship title in chess! That’s like winning the biggest chess game five times in a row! 🎉
She played against Tan Zhongyi, another amazing chess player from China, in Chongqing. The final score was 6.5 to 2.5. That’s a big win! 🥳
In their last game, Ju played with the white pieces and used a special strategy called the Nyezhmetdinov-Rossolimo attack against Tan’s Sicilian defense. Sounds fancy, right? It means she played smart moves to try and win. ♟️
Both players were really careful, and the game was super close. They ended up in a part of the game called a rook-and-pawn endgame. In the end, they agreed to a draw, which means neither player won that game. 🤝
But after nine exciting games, Ju came out on top and became the champion again! She’s now won the title five times in a row, and it’s the 16th time a Chinese player has won the women’s world championship. How cool is that? 🌟
Maybe one day, you’ll be a chess champion too! Keep practicing and have fun! 😊
