e mate? Bishop takes c6. Well, he might go with the rook. Let's say we go with the rook. But didn't we look at something very similar? No, it was different. All right. So, bishop e7. Bishop e7. Okay. Let's try this one first. So I take. Rook c8. Bishop c8. And yeah, this is just anking f8 we were doing, right? I even have bishop d7 here with the queen on a7. Let me think. Let me think. Let me think. But he took on b5 and a takes b5 is probably forced. Let's stop here. Great calculation exercise. Definitely. You don't play an a takes b5 without having it worked out as a win. You just don't. There's just no way you can play this. Okay. So let's try the archaic way. Bishop takes c6 check. I must take back with the bishop because rook c6 runs into queen d8 mate. So rook takes c6. Now I again cannot take on c6. Same reason. So I have to move my rook. The problem is that I might be running into some rook c7 later. That's a nice spot. But perhaps I could try something like it looks ugly but queen a or queen b7. Not sure which one is better. Queen b7 might run into your rook c7 move. Ah, yeah, definitely. Okay. So queen a8. Okay. So queen a8. And now where is the mate? Where is the mate? I really hope that there is no mate, but no. But actually you don't have anything to lose here as black. Because either the tactics work and you lose, either you don't. So it's very easy to play here. And I believe that even having three minutes on the clock, you just have only moves here, right, with black. There is not much to think about. And it's actually Leandro's turn to show his tactics. I don't see a way to win immediately actually. I don't know. Am I missing something? Must be. Must be missing just. I don't see it. No, definitely. I mean, bishop. Why are you so confident? I'm so surprised. No, because I just don't see mate. Like I understand, but like we've been looking at it for five minutes and he's looked at it for like 40 minutes. But because you know in this type of position, it's so easy to get compelled with white just to sacrifice something. You know actually this year, earlier this year, I played the European Women's Championship. And I had this game where there was a Rui Lopez. But with let's say four tempests up for me as white. And I had a dream position. All of black's pieces were on the last two ranks. I had 40 minutes and my opponent had one minute. And actually I felt so much pressure and I eventually went for a sacrifice, which I felt that should work. But my opponent just kept making the only moves and I eventually lost that game. Okay. So I can, you know, I can relate to this one. And... Well, yes, I mean... There are dangers for white too. That's just what I was going to point out. I mean, you either win or lose this game. There is no in between now. So either this... And psychologically it's already easier to play for black because you somehow agree that, yeah, I'm in trouble. I might be losing. But, you know, you are calm with that. She should have had enough time to accept that. And now it's Landro's turn to prove that tactics work. Surely something works. Let's try to make it work. Okay, let's keep on trying. So we tried Rook... So Rook takes c6, you were going Bishop e7, right? Yeah. Okay. Is there anything else genius here? No, because now... Yeah, I just want to castle. So Rook c8, Bishop takes c8 and Bishop to c6. Looks quite... Quite forcing action. Do we miss some mid? No, because Rook c8, Bishop c8, Queen d8. The Rook on d8 will be unprotected. I don't see the mid. I don't see it. Maybe Bishop is 6. Okay, let's try this. So Bishop takes... So Bishop takes c6, you were taking? Yeah. With Bishop, yeah. And Queen a8, yeah. It might be here that we miss something. Because it looks very scary, I must say. But the knight on f6 is protecting d7, and you don't have a way to attack it immediately, right? And try and distract it. What move are we missing? It should be something, but I failed to see it. Maybe something like Rook d6, could that one work? Probably not. No, it's not working. I don't see it. Surely he doesn't go for this. Wait, there can... Oh, go on. No, no, it's just false alarm. God... Oh, this is frustrating. Oh, this is frustrating the hell out of me. Batboy says it's too tactical for poor Lawrence. Pat, it's Lawrence with a W. And anytime you want a game, my friend, you know where to find me. You can show me your superior play. I'm sure you'd be more than willing to do so. Yeah, actually, we are having quite a tough time with this position, but that's exactly why there is so much pressure on the players right now, because if Landau would see the winning, he would have played it right away. But he's taking some time, and I believe... I believe he might not be that sure anymore. Let's have a look. So, Nb5, let's try this again. Ab5, Bc6, Bc6, Rc6. Queen a8. Queen a8. It looks critical, yeah. It also could be something like Rxc8, Qxc8. Yeah, we're trying to make Rc1, because you can't go Bc5, because I can take, and Qd8 made. And when you go Qd7, I was wondering, do I have just a half a move here like Qc2? I might be not enough. Because Bb7, Qc8, check. All right, even Bd8 might be all right. Bd8, I take. Queen takes. And Qc6. Nd7. Rd1. No, but it's not enough for winning. Probably not enough for winning, but you'd be surprised if I take on B5 and the aporn starts rolling. I mean, I don't know. It's probably not enough for winning. Maybe you can go Kf7, Kf6 or something. But I could even play something like h5 and rook h6. Do I have enough time for that? No. I mean, you do, but it's, it's, I wouldn't know. Well, I mean, I would never play it. But yeah, I mean, maybe, maybe, but I don't know. I just start running. Let's say I go for e5. And now I play Qc8. Worst case, I play a6. But then it's a draw. It's a draw, yeah. Yeah, probably not more than a draw here. But I could also try the rook b6 and get ambitious. Where? After a6. Rb6. Rb6. Oh, am I blundering? Oof, I might have blundered. Yikes. Yeah, yeah, this, this is, this is the absolute, I mean. Yeah, it looks weird, but it just might be all right. Wow. It looks like white would, white lacks a few tempests. I'm not sure. I'm very curious to see what Landros idea is here, but I believe he's slightly worried. And if I see correctly, he's shaking a bit his head. Isn't he? This game is really interesting, but meanwhile we've had two results actually. Oh yes, we have, yeah. So two draws between Julian and Marie. A good result for Julian because he had some tough games and some tough losses. And Joe made a draw against Marcel. It was that game where we saw an end game actually, quite early on. So, yeah, all the logical, I believe, so far. And there are eight more games in progress and all of them are really interesting. Should we check the game between Balash and Josiah because Balash also sacrificed the piece. Yeah, let's go there. It was that 95. My word. Look at this position. All right, let's quickly go back and see what happened because something similar happened to what we were looking at. So an 85, 85, 95, blocking, which is natural, before kicking the rook, and then throwing in this knight to c6, taking advantage of the fact that f6 is weak. So if you take this way in the end. But weren't we trying to make f4 work first? He chose knight c6 immediately, no? Yeah, he did. I don't know why he did this first, but well, maybe the reason is that Bishop takes c5 is a threat here. All right. So she went queen c8 and now the point is he gets this b5 construction, right? Which is effectively his compensation. And now c5. Look at this move. What? c5. Ah, it's beautiful. It's just great. I mean, it looks great anyway. Yeah, it looks very, very nice.  I'm a bit worried about his time that he doesn't have so much left. Just six minutes. Yeah, but f4 kicking the knight and now b6. But wait, you have sacrificed quite a lot. But this pawn is, yeah, this is what she played, but hold on it. This looks, this looks... Because after b6, c6, there is queen c6 and mate on h1 is coming. There is, yeah. I think, I think it's not that easy. Did he make a mistake? Oops. So what's his idea after b6, rook c6? Maybe he needs to go rook e1. Yeah, definitely. That should be the case. Maybe that's what he wants to do. It's still not winning.  Knight to g8? But wait, I also have rook c7, maybe. I have to... No, rook c7 is terrible. Okay, knight g8. No, but this looks bad, I would like. But this looks bad. I'm only a b7, right? Yeah. Queen takes, what to do? Take on g4? It's over. Oh, it is. Finished. It actually is. Yeah, rook e1 is a good move. Why do I do after it? To know, maybe it's just game of the tournament, basically. Wow. Rook e1, I'm attacking the bishop, I'm threatening mate. You can't move the queen because this guy drops. That's just completely... Wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, what we got? Let's not hurry. What we got? Let's try rook c7. Rook c7? Yeah. I'm sacrificing the next change, what to do? I mean, I have two plans for now. Bishop f3. And you want to take... Yeah. Or queen takes a6. Oh, guys, it's... But wait, after bishop f3, maybe I still have rook h2. Queen takes a6 was probably winning, but it's complete. But I just go queen takes a6. Wait, wait, wait. Do I have no hopes at all here? No. I mean, I have two amazing bishops. Yeah.  Am I... I'm not even a pawn down. Unfortunately, I will have to agree with you. And I believe he's going to play the move, rook e1. No, this is just a masterpiece by Balash. Chonka. Balash, the chomper, he'll be called after this tournament. This, I believe, will be the game of the tournament if it's winning for a while. I mean, it's just a crush. I haven't seen such a beauty in a long time, actually. What a crush. And I see zero moves. Maybe her best move is to go back with the knight, actually. But even after takes now, both is hanging and this is just... Wow. What a masterpiece. Yeah, that's... I mean, we're going to have to get Balash in the studio. That's a fantastic game. Yeah, I mean... But he, you know, I could feel his excitement for the last time he came to the studio after one of his wins. And then after that one, he won one more. And today, I believe, might be the third one in a row, right? Could be, yeah. Could be three in a row. Wow. That's just amazing. Let's have a look at the game of Eric versus Gheonai because it also promised to be very exciting. So, let's see. Not so exciting. Looks bad for Eric or at least looks good for Gheonai. I mean, at least okay for Gheonai. There are some knightage for ideas, though. But you could probably take on F2. Yeah, only the only problem Gheonai's got is her time on the clock, which is only two minutes for 18 moves, as somebody was saying in the chat. But the position, yeah. The position looks quite good for Black, I have to say. Yeah, looks just fine. I mean, I think we should stay with the Chonga Balash game because it's just... Definitely. Or we go back to very quickly. Let's go back to Leandro. Well, he hasn't made a move yet. So, maybe he miscalculated something. Maybe you're right. I am so curious, though, here, if there's a win. I think so. Yeah! And I've got it right. Well, I mean, White is doing very well. No, but I mean, Black isn't losing. Yeah, a knight takes B5 might just be a draw. After... So, takes. Oh, but... Takes. After rook c6. Queen a8. And now queen... It's our variation, actually. Yeah, but White has to find a very difficult move here. Queen c... Ah, queen c... I think I said queen c2 at some point. But queen c3, apparently, is the move. And the point is if you take on c6, I go rook d8 check. And I have a perpetual, weird perpetual. Yeah, because otherwise Black is getting too much material. But... He went rook takes c6. It's just... It's terrible after bishop e7 and... Right. What's his idea after bishop e7? I don't know. He wants to just... You know, he's thinking... I think we went for this variation. But after bishop d7, White is busted. Maybe he wants to go rook c1, rook c7. That's what he wants to do. That's what he wants to do. Rook c1, rook c7. I think Antoinette is going to find her way through these variations. Because as I was saying, she's forced to find only moves. And that's the danger when you sacrifice a lot of material. Yeah, very interesting. And actually, I did not expect this game to be that aggressive because Leandro has been playing positional chess up to this point. He wasn't going for so many tactical complications. I'm very surprised. And I guess we'll see if Eti is... Let's see. And she does go, but should be 7, of course. Bishop is 7, yeah. And now he has to take and go rook c1. But big danger now for Leandro. Probably should have bailed out with the draw. I wonder if before, all the way back here, sort of after bishop a5, knight f6, if he has something. And again, my gut tells me he does. But no, apparently just... Probably just enough compensation, but... Yeah, but bishop d8 is just the most ridiculous move. I mean, it's a beautiful move because you're threatening takes in here and you're stopping bishop e7. I mean, this move is just... They throw gold coins on the board, but it might not be much after... He didn't do it because of knight d5, but yeah, and now he had to find the ridiculous move, bishop h4. Well, it's... And now you're threatening e4, knight takes c3, and queen d8, mate. Right. I mean, this is just stunning. This is next level. I mean, somebody like Rapport or something like that would find bishop d8, but all right, can't be too hard on the guy. Yeah, I think he might regret for being over ambitious in this game because I believe that Antoinette would have been otherwise happy with a solid draw with black. And if he's going to lose this one, it will be a great moment for the women's team. Huge. Yeah, because as we've seen, we probably think that Balash might be winning against Janssaya, right? No, this is just... And then this will compensate for that. Yeah? Yeah, over. Game over here, probably, yeah. We don't see actually Janssaya surviving this one. Oh, let's check another game. Let's check the Bilal versus Ogath quickly. This one, wow, Bilal is... He has made quite some progress, right? Yeah. This is a slightly unpleasant ending for black because I can now take and enter at will. But I can play rook c7, maybe. Oh, but it's white to move. But I think her idea is after take, she wants to take with the pawn. With the pawn? Yeah, because I think she wants to have some... But where do I place my king on e8? On e8 or f8? It looks... But yeah, I get doubled, right? No, I think she wants to take with the rook on c6. Okay. And after check... Because then maybe I could play something like... I'm not sure... Yeah, it looks like... Because king... Kind of a trouble. King e6, I want to go... King e4, no? And now if black does something... Let's say f5, g takes. Well, f5 is critical, but I'm just saying if black does anything else, then white has b5. Yeah, now after rook c5, there is rook 1 to d6 made. Exactly. So f5, let's say I take, but I can just take on h7. But I could take maybe... With the king? But it looks bad after rook d6, and I'm just winning the pawn on e5. But perhaps this one is... No, this is losing. No, it might be. Even rook f1 check here is just crushing. King e6, rook g7. But wait, I can play king g6 maybe? Yeah, king g6 and then I go rook g1. With the... And I just double. Yeah, it looks... I must say that it looks quite bad for black. This is very bad. But what do I do then after? Maybe actually b takes c6, then should be the way, right? Good check. Maybe here she wants to go king e6, unbelievably. But isn't she running in trouble after king... No, rook takes b4 check. King g4, that's a good point. And what about rook 1 to d6? And maybe she wants to just run. Rook f7, king g4. But actually you might want to consider even moves like... No, king f3 is probably all right after e4. So king g4, yeah? Rook g7, let's say? Or which pawn should I take? Rook g7 probably. Yeah, rook g7, why not? But now you take on b4 or on h4. No, it looks like black is in big trouble and... He didn't play it. He didn't. What did he do? He played h5, so why can't you just take on c6? Yeah, that's crazy. Wow, but h5 seems like... h5 is probably good, but bishop takes c6 is just... We switched on the computer and it's plus 8, and it's a really easy plus 8. Yeah. And h5 gives black a chance because rook c7 now defends the second rank. Not playing bishop takes c6 here is absolutely bizarre to me. I just don't understand what's going on. Because like... Bishop c6. Something like this, king e8 and now king e4 just flows. Perhaps he was worried about to move like b6. No. Yeah, this one looks bad. It's all-winning. Yeah, it's actually over, probably. It's just all-winning. Yeah, I have to agree. Weird one. It's strange. But even after h5, it is true that Bilal is just still dominating. Wait, maybe he wants to take the point on h7 actually. Rook c7? He wants to just take? It's possible. Why not? But wait. Well, you will have to deal with most like rook h8 there. G6. G6, maybe I could play h6. But then you have h6. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I'm afraid this position might be lost for Olga. Yeah, it looks bad for Olga. Irrespective of what she does here, it looks... Yeah, so this one is trouble for the ladies team. Let's try to find a game where the ladies are doing fine. What about the game of Maria versus Hussein? Well, she's doing more than fine here.  Yeah, she's a pawn up and active. Is it enough? That's a big question. Yeah, I'm not sure. Probably is. But where do you play your king? Now I have a f5 maybe. Well, the lone ranger. Rc2. King g3. Ah, Rc2, king g3. And if I take, you want to just go. Yeah, run. Okay, got to be a little bit careful here. Yeah, this was what I was... Wasn't sure. But maybe you have d4, right? d4? And f6, rook c7. But I'm worried it's still not enough. Now rook e4. And king d5, rook e7, ah. Or rook e7 is actually interesting. But let's say I take d3. Can I go rook g7 here? Perhaps. Yeah, might be the case. Yeah, might not be enough. Maybe king to the other direction. What if king f6? Ah, king f6, okay. And now what if I play rook e5? I want to protect it with rook d3. Okay. And try to contain white's king on h2. Let's say g3. And now I will start to push the pawns on b5. Okay, I'm gonna come. b4. Yep. Rd2. Yep. Ra2. Yep. And the rook g2. Actually even rook b2. Yeah, I was thinking about rook b2 actually. Could be unpleasant still for white. Yeah. Might have to try some f5, but I'm... Wait, what? Rook takes b3. King f4. I isn't. It's just bad. Should just be bad. Ah, yeah, h5.  King e7. I don't know. Should be lost though. Really? I think so, rook f3. Okay. What should I do now? Probably draw. Draw? This one is probably... Yeah, because I take a7. I take h5 and... Okay, maybe I was a bit too fast here because it seems like... But it feels... It does feel losing. It does feel losing. Okay, we're gonna have to... I think we should come back to that one a bit later. Yeah, definitely. So we think that Maria has got quite good chances here with the pawn up, right? Meanwhile, Gensaiya... Well... Sacrifices the queen. Oops. We got the variation we basically was looking at, so... Oh, dammit. But she has a rook and a knight for it. Rook takes d6. What? Why didn't he just take the knight and be happy with this pin? I think he went for the beauty here. Rook d6, rook d6, bishop b7, rook e6. But suddenly black is not losing by force anymore, no? Probably not, but it's...  No, definitely it should be still winning, but... Queen d1 or something. You must be careful. Okay, I have to take, I believe, 1 e1. No? Yeah, queen takes e1. Yeah, still my pieces are really badly placed and those bishops are monsters, but it could have just taken back the material. Very weird. But I mean, it has to just still be winning. If it's enough, it's enough, right? Yeah. Actually, we see our viewers in the chat saying that Rook d6 was simply the strongest move. Yeah, queen d1. Queen d1 is good. This is the ballast, the chompa, chonka. Yeah, queen d1 is good. And yeah, I think Gensai is just not holding this. Yeah, it's difficult to play when you don't, when you have a knight on g8, right? And yeah, looks badly. All right, let's, let's check the game of Bobby versus Irene. Yep. Yeah, we haven't seen this for a long time. Goodness, this is a very, very difficult position. Oh, so actually the queen, it was the game with the Catalan with the queen on a6 maneuver. And now white has, white is upon down. Yeah, white is upon down. It is actually reminding me of the game between, between Leandro and Antoineta, but the black's king is on the king's side here. It's not in the center. But the compensation white wants to have is linked to the same idea that white claims to have the initiative and the space there, that bishop on g8 looks, but maybe it has its, because the idea is to protect f7 to have more pieces protecting the king's side. How do you assess this one? Compensation for white. My question is, what are we actually doing against queen's x4? Did she just? No, she played bishop a3, which looks like it could be a decent move. Wait, it might be actually quite dangerous for white. Yeah, rook c2, but it is protected. So maybe it's still okay. And I don't know, it's three minutes 45 for Bobby, five minutes 54 Irene. Yeah, it can go both ways. It's still a really complicated one. But here actually you might consider most like even knight b3 trying to take on d4 with a knight. I think knight b3 might actually be a good move if I'm not missing something. Knight b3? Yeah, do you have any ways to jump with the knight here? Knight b3, that's an interesting move.  It looks funny. Yeah, did she just play knight b3? Or no, not yet. Actually Bobby's taking his time moving the rook to c2. Perhaps he's worried exactly about this knight b3. And Bobby shaking his head, not happy at all. Bobby Cheng, is he going to be victim of the biggest upset of the day? I don't know if it's the biggest one because we thought Jhansaya is also probably not going to be too happy about her game today, no? No, but that's not an upset. I mean the rating difference is only 10 points and this is 150 points and Bobby with white and Jhansaya with black and Balash on form. For me it's not an upset at all. He actually did play rook to c2. I'm curious if knight b3 is working. I don't see anything wrong with that for now. No, I don't either. Knight b5 is also not working. Knight b4 just seems a very big threat after knight b3. All right, very complicated position. Let's go back to Eric Rosen against Gunai because things have got very spicy. Wow, what is that? What is going on? Huge, huge. All right, so I see one point. Gunai wants to say that after f takes g5, she is going to take on f1. And then after rook takes f1, she will go queen a1, right? So go on, so f takes g5. Rook takes f1, rook takes queen a1, check, king c2, queen f1. And this is the position she aims for, but I'm not entirely sure how this one is. Because for now black doesn't threaten to play rook to f8 because of the fork on g6. So maybe I have time to... What about taking? I would take or even g6 might be. G6? No, g6 for white I was thinking. Oh, sorry, sorry. But maybe she takes, yeah. And check. Now the queen is coming to e5, right? But I've got king g7 probably. No, but now I have a check. Queen f6. Ah, queen f6 and maybe I get away with it, but probably not. Yeah, probably just king g8. No, I do get away with it, knight here. And I cannot play king f8 because after knight g6 I have to return as after king g8 there is queen c6 with a double attack. Cute little draw this actually. Is it? No, it's not because you've got queen g7 here. But you might have another way to give a check. Wait, wait, wait. Let's go back. Queen e5, queen f6, king g8. Maybe I can give this check, huh? Might be. Because you're taking quite a lot of material here, right? Well, yeah, I give the check. King h8. Oh, I have a brilliant idea. Let's move back. Where to? After knight, the moment where white can give the discovered check, king h7, knight c8. Can I do something like that? Queen c6, rook b8. Oh, I can't. I wanted to trap the rook, but it's not working. Okay. So which position do we have on the board? Queen takes a2 is on the board. So will Eric go for this exchange sacrifice? Because it looks very interesting. And actually, let's try to check that line, which I wanted with g6 instead of g takes. I'm curious if that might work. Because the idea is to play g5, and somehow the king is... Ah, but you've got at least rook f8 here, right? Yeah, rook f8. I don't see this being... No, this is not good. This is coming. Definitely. So g takes h6, probably forced here. Yeah. Can we just see if there's a move apart from fxg5 here? Or are we saying there's no move here apart from fxg5? No, of course there might be another move, but... Like, what else can... But I think he's definitely calculating the sacrifice. What else? Good question. Because black is threatening to go queen a1, then queen a4, and then perhaps move away the knight. Ah, but maybe. Yeah, really tough position for Eric. The move here does not come naturally. No, but he probably feels that fxg5 must be enough. I believe this should be all right. Let's quickly go over to Antoinette's game. Because is Leandro, has he just bungled it? Look at this position. Antoinette playing spoiler today. Wow, that's doing the second piece now. She does. I mean, he played rook takes b5. Sorry, why can't I just play knight takes d7 and king a8? Or queen takes d7 is also good. No, queen d7, you've got rook a8. She's going to go knight takes. Rook b7 and king a8 is just... King a8 is just... He will probably try your idea with a4. But now I have even two pieces, not one, but two pieces. It's just over. Should be over, yeah. Yeah, he knows, he knows, he knows. He messed it up, yeah. Wow, what an unbelievable result for the women's team. This will be, and yeah, I mean... Yeah. He went for a4. Yeah. Doesn't matter, I mean, now you can even move the knight. Knight c5. I mean, you don't have to. Just try and find a way to get your rook into the game. Bishop f6, king e7 is probably good. Yeah, I actually... But maybe... That's fine. But yeah, or just anything. Ah, but g6, what about... g6, f6, any move. There is no threat. f6, yeah, f6 actually probably... f5 might be good to give some space for the piece. But then you should be careful maybe about rook b7. King a8, a5. Okay, knight c5, let's say. Yeah, it's nothing. Yeah, f6, right. It's completely fine. Yeah, a very, very impressive defense by Antoinette. And actually, yeah, I believe there are no reasons for her not to win the game today. She will win, no question. Okay, so let's go back. Let's quickly look in at Sabino Brunello against Pia. And Sabino, he's just a lovely position here as white. Really, really, really tough position for Pia. Weakness on e6, control down the d-file. e5 square is weak. Bishop is better. Wait, there is knight f6 here, though. Yes. I want to try and close up the d-file if you play e5. And she actually did something... Did she... Ah, she played rook c2 instead because the bishop from b5 is protecting the knight. Maybe it's better. Rook c2. I believe this is a better move. But this is suffering. I mean, this is really just a long, long, long suffering. Why? Why? Well, structurally, you're worse. You have weak squares. But you need a knight for those squares. Yeah, well, I've got a knight. To find a way to bring it over. Okay, like knight g4, let's say. Knight g4. Can I play something like e5, trying to create some counter play? Yeah. Okay, and what if I... And after bishop d6, I wanted to go for bishop c6. And then something like... Yeah, it looks... It doesn't look that bad for me, is it? Really? Well, maybe it's not. I mean, but I would say that this is like one of those typical plus 0.8 positions for white. I... Ah, but... Maybe I go h5. Yeah. Um, all right. I go for b5. This is a sort of position Magnus wins a thousand times. And it's very annoying. I've got some counter play though, no? Well, yeah, I mean, sure. But, you know, there are even positions with just the rook and bishop versus rook, which are, you know, let's say I go h6, just as in illustration. I'm not saying this is correct, but let's say I go 95 check. And I go bishop takes e5. You still have to be careful about b4, right? Well, I don't know. I mean, not particularly. I mean, I can take rook d8. What about b3? And rook b8. And actually, we have another result. Leandro has just resigned his game, and Antonetta scoring a very important victory. Yeah. When just out of the isolation. Yeah. Massive win for the women's team. Congratulations. She deserves it after the past six days. No. I see your point here. You want to say that my point on h7 is weak, but no, it's not easy to get to it, I believe, maybe. Well, I'm threatening this guy, so already bishop a4.  But it wasn't forced that I play g6. I could have taken on h6 as well. Yeah, that might be... Again, this is just an idea. But now I've created more weaknesses. I don't know, it feels like one of those positions which are just genuinely difficult to defend. Right. And let's go back to one of those games which are still in time trouble and... Let's go to Kunai. They've got one minute, 15... Oh, so Eric did not go for the g5. But now he must be in trouble, right? I'm not sure, I don't know. Queen c2, I guess. Knight c3 is a threat. Yeah, I guess he wants to go queen c2. What other move is he going to try here? Queen c2, but wait, how are the pawns? Isn't black a pawn up? Yes. Yeah, yeah, this is just bad for Eric. Yeah, because you cannot play rook c1. Ah, I mean you can play, but it's not a move you want to play. Right. Yeah, it's quite... Yeah, he played queen c2 actually. I think Kunai might actually trade queens here. Yeah, why not? Because they are very low on time. Okay, so our viewers in the chat are saying that Jean-Sahia's game might be actually a draw now. What? That would be very surprising because we thought it was already over. Oh my goodness, what did he do? What happened, Balash? Yeah, time troubles are really unpredictable. I mean, is this really still at all? Okay, not really, yeah. No, but definitely from plus what might... Right. ...must have been plus a thousand is now suddenly. Wow. And you know why it's difficult to win these types of positions with white? It's because of the opposite-colored bishops. It's difficult to... You know. And we have another result. Yeah, Bilal won. On fire, Bilal. Wow, five and a half out of six in the last six games. It's fantastic. And when you think that this young man started with two losses, how did he make this happen? He's just talented. Wow. Rook d2 on the board. Fantastic fighting spirit. Fantastic. Rook d2 on the board. Now, queen c6, surely. Balash, you've got to go and threaten some checks. So there is rook d6. It's all right for black, actually. Rook d6? Yeah. This is just all right? Yeah. Queen e4, let's... I know the knight is coming. Right. And I think white should be actually careful not to blunder anything else. What? What did he do? He took on e6. What's that? What is this move? What? He just wants to take the pawn. He's gone completely... The then he's not going to win this one. What a miss by Balash. He's not going to win this game. He shouldn't win this game. Probably. King takes e6. And that's exactly why he should have gone for queen takes g4. Do you remember that moment when he sacrificed the material? I'm not sure. Because the position was much simpler there. But I mean even this position, I'm sorry. Bishop takes b7, rook e6, queen d1, knight h6. I'm sorry. This position is simple. Queen a4 check, I've got no idea what's going on. Why am I not taking on e6? All right, fxc6 is forced. King f7 maybe? Queen d7. King f7 was better to protect the pawn on e6. Queen d7. And knight f5. Mate. Oh, it's a mate. Yeah, I've missed that one. But I mean, come on. I mean, just look at the position. Wait, I could protect. I could play knight f6. I love it. I love how optimistic you are here. I mean, I know it's bad for black, but I mean, I'm not losing right away here. Well, because if it would have been that easy, he would have played it. I don't know. Maybe he got nervous. Queen c8 and now knight f5. And I'm maybe losing the thread a little bit. Okay. King f7, really. I can't believe it. I mean, even I'm material up, right? I've got a queen and two bishops versus a rook and two knights. It's... What if I just go bishop f3? Okay, bishop f3, rook h2. Wow. It's the only move I'm afraid. And if I move the bishop? If you move the bishop, I'm in trouble. But I mean, there has to be a thousand ways. There has to be a thousand ways. I mean, I've got extra material, a better king, and better pieces. But I will still go with my statement. I think that after queen takes g4, it was much easier to play for white, because you have material back. The attack is still there. I mean, look at that. You are not material down here. You want to take on c6. There are a thousand threats here. Yeah, it's just all winning. We need to rook it to everything, is there? I'm still surprised. That might must be so disappointing for Balash here. But he's got one thing on his side. Just, I mean, the game isn't over, because if we go to the position, wherever she moves, and he reached move 40, let's say she goes king f7, right? I guess she might come to f5 though. Wait. Difficult decision to make. Also, yeah, I'm not sure which one is the best. Well, the point is, if you go to f7, I can now take on c3, and you can't take because of queen b3 check. Yeah, right. So, if you come to f5, let's say, and I take, can you take here? And my instinct tells me you can't, but I have to think like, for example, queen... But which move would that be? It would be move 41. Yeah, yeah. So, Jean-Saint would have time to calculate that. Yeah, like queen c8 check, for example, might just win immediately. King e4, queen e6 picks up everything. Yeah. Or king h6, queen h8 picks up the knight. Do you want something funny?  I couldn't make progress. It was a fortress. Bishop and knight versus queen only? Yeah, with pawns, three on three. Oh, okay. But yeah, here is not the case, of course. Yeah. But no, of course, she's got fantastic chances here. No, I believe there is no way Jean-Saint loses this one anymore. What? No way she loses? No, I'm optimistic about this one. No way she loses. You're saying it's 100% certainty? I don't want to jinx it again, you know, because... But, you know, she's still probably a lot worse after this, right? Because I've got the aporn, right? Or am I just... What am I... I think you are over-optimistic here. Let's say I play rook d5. I bring the knight then. Are you sure there will be no mating ideas there? Okay. Where do I put it? On f5 or on g4? Probably on f5. Okay. I'm just going to let you... So you go for a5. I'm going to let you mate me. Okay, I will try that. How do I do that though? Not so easy as I thought. Okay, let's throw in a rook c5.  King d7? No, this has not gone well for me. Let's go back. I have to be careful here. No, actually it's a critical moment here after queen c6. Oh, she went rook d6, by the way. Rook d6. Okay, let's see that one. Queen takes c3. I don't think including a check helps, so let's say queen takes c3. I will bet you that this position is still plus 1.5 for white. All right, so what do we bet on? I'm going to go for Balash winning still. And what are the stakes? What are you willing to bet on your assessment? Well, Irina, you're talking to a guy who's got no fear. I'll bet whatever you're comfortable with. Okay, let's have a bet over a bottle of wine. A bottle of wine. Beautiful, I love it. If we get this position on the board, I'm going to go... I'm going to still say Balash is going to win this for a bottle of wine. I love it. Okay, let's do it. Done deal. All right. All right, what else is going on now? Let's go back to Eric, because I can hear a lot of people in the chat. And what have we got here? And Eric doing okay. He can play c4, move 40. Wait, how did the pawns get even? Wasn't he a pawn down? Wow, is this just good for Eric? He was, but there's something that's happened and now he plays c4. And if she plays rook c8, I take, take king d3. And then I take here and you can't go here, because I can do this. No, but wait, wait, wait. You are going too fast. After king d3, you mean that after rook b4, there is king c3, I see. But now I have rook e4. No, I wasn't saying king c3. I was saying, can I not do play like this? But it shouldn't be winning for white, because the two pawns are not... But these are faster, right? Not together. Yeah, but there is only one passed pawn. I don't know. I'm not sure how this one is. I would be very scared here as black, like super scared. Okay, so I don't have time to push the pawn. I think it should be all right. King g8. My idea after e5 is to go for rook b5 actually. King e4, but now the pawn endgame should be fine, so a5.  Even the pawn ending needs like total calculation. Probably... Rook f5. King f5. Am I forced to... no. a4. King f8. a3. Which one? Let's try this one. But I'm in time, no? No. Ah, you get king g7. Ah, you protect f6, which is useful. It's probably a draw. G takes f6. Yeah. a2. Yeah. Yeah, and I'm not losing this one. No. No, this should end in a draw, but even... It's actually you who will have to be careful. Yeah, I would have to be careful. Phil, though, that I don't have to rush into that rook and pawn, and also to put your rook so awkwardly here. The other idea I had was rook g5. Let's say... Ah, rook g5. You have to go king f8, important. King f7. Yeah, because it runs into e6. And now maybe you should go for h6. Exactly, I can try h6. Definitely. And then let's say rook g6. Yeah, on this... I could believe you on this one. Yeah, I look at this position, and I think this rook and pawn is just really awful for black, because you're just so slow, and I'm so fast. Yeah. It's actually a very good moment for Eric, because I believe he was in a bit of a trouble earlier in the game, and now it's a great outcome for him, I believe.  It looks as though... What else is going on? The Bobby Chen game is also extremely interesting. Let's check that one. Because I really looked like she collected all the pawns. Bobby could be in trouble here, actually. She has two pawns up, but let's try to assess this one. The rook on d3 is hanging. Yeah, I think black is doing great in this game. But we should be careful about ideas with bishop e4, and white might try to go for a repetition at some point. But here, I could probably just take on d3. It's actually funny, because let's put this one. Knight d3, bishop g6, knight d1, bishop f7, and after king h8, rook h3, knight h7, bishop g6, or... You can also take here, by the way. I was not sure that bishop d6 is... Oh, but this is great for... Oh, I'm blundering. Sorry, my bishop. Even this goodness knows what's going on here. It's... Yeah. It might get very interesting. Yeah. Well, I think all the games of reach move 40 pretty much, so this is probably a good moment for us to take a break. Yeah, let's just have a quick look at the game of Ravi versus Yavanka, because we haven't checked it in a while just to see how our thing's there. Looks fine for Yavanka. Looks fine. Yeah. Controlling the a-file, something went wrong. It looks like for Ravi a little bit, so Yavanka in good shape. I would say Sabino better, very similar position to what we saw. Right. I would say that Hussein against Maria, Maria... Trying to save this one, but I think it's not going to be an easy job. No, I think Maria is going to win. Bobby against Irene is just completely unclear. But completely unclear, but with two points up for Irene. Yeah. Eric looks like he's got a really good chance at causing a little bit of an upset. This is a position at the moment. I would say that Eric probably is better in that one. So we're very, very evenly poised going into the bonus time. Amazing. All right, guys. So we're going to take a short break that you saw there on the score. It's even Stevens at the moment. One win each, one draw each, and congratulations to Antoinette Stefanova. Well deserved, defended wonderfully. She's just come back. She's had a tough time here, obviously, after being in isolation for so long. So congratulations to her. And the round is still so exciting. Anything can happen. Definitely. We're going to be back in just a few moments. See you, sir. We welcome back to round eight of Battle of the Sexes Live from the Garrison Library here in Gibraltar. We've had an absolutely unbelievable round so far. Some truly amazing games. Lots of games that in progress. The results that matter so far are Antoinette Stefanova winning with the Black Pieces against Leandro Crissa after being under pressure in a fascinating opening. But Leandro just not finding the way. And then when the moment went, he wasn't able to find the drawing line either, meaning that, well, just... He sacrificed too many pieces in the end. Sacrificed all these pieces, and he just wasn't able to come back and a massive win for the ladies. And congratulations to Antoinette, who of course was out of action for a few days, but now she's back. And that is a very welcome victory. Bilal, Bilacin is just on fire, has won five and a half out of his last six, now beating Olga Giria in his typical unorthodox style playing an early G4. Wow. I mean, the way this guy plays chess, it's really lovely to see. I think his opponents will see a lot of G4s in the next games, actually. It's just wonderful to see this kind of creative chess and effective chess. And the other two results, Joe Galagev-Roymsky, apparently, Joe told me I saw him in the break, that Marcella just prepared everything and it was basically a draw-ish ending, which is also just incredible when you think about it. She did 30, 31 moves of prep in that game. Wow. Amazing. And Gillian Boilea, finally. Gillian breaking his duck. He, well, at least his bad patch, let's say he got a draw, important draw, I would say, against Marisa Bag. That is a welcome half point for the men's team. And now the situation is we've got six games in play. The most disappointed player, I guess, at the moment will be Balash Chonka, who played a magnificent game. And he had a completely winning position. We thought that game was going to end with his win quite quickly, but actually he made some blunders in the time trouble. And now it's no longer clear and actually we have an ongoing bet on this one. So Lauren still believes in Balash's chances to win this one and I took Shansaya, who I believe will be able to hold it and we'll see who's going to get the bottle of wine in the end. Yeah, of course. I mean, the only side that can win this is White. If we have a look at the position after what's gone on, Queen B5 check, rook c6. Okay, White has got a queen and three against rook, Bishop knight and one. But I believe Black has found quite a good way of defending the position because now with the rook on the sixth rank, it controls the a6 square, it controls the g6 square. I mean, the pawn is protected there. And now I believe she will go for some ideas with knight c5 or knight c7 in order to stop the a pawn from running. And then at points, White will have to do something. Probably find a way to push those pawns on the king side. But I'm not sure, I'm not sure White will have a breakthrough. I actually believe that knight c7 probably is going to be better. And that's why Balash just played queen d5, trying to get, I believe, in the way of Black's bringing the knight there. Yeah. Because now if you go for bishop d6, then the rook no longer protects the g6 pawn and it might not be a great idea to do so. I would actually prefer a move like rook d6 because after queen b7, I can still go to c7 with the knight. And now, yeah, it's up to White to come up with a plan. Because if we look now, if White manages to play g4 and f5, I will take on f5. And when you take back steel, the f6 square is controlled very well. I'm having a difficult time here, trying to realize if it's winning for White at all. I believe Transayash should be able to keep this one balanced. Yeah, it's definitely very, very tough to win this now. And she went for rook d6, actually. By the way, do you know how is the end game queen versus bishop and knight with no pawns on the board? Is it, it should be? No, it's winning. It's winning, right? Yeah. Queen versus bishop and knight is definitely winning. And can White do that in 50 moves? Yeah, I think so. I think so. Right. It's just not enough material. Yeah. And well, he's given the check again. I expect Transayash to go rook c6. I wonder if he's not thinking of a draw. Is he? I hope not. I think he might be... Ah, no, no, no, no, no. Ah, yeah, sorry. Rook c6, queen d3 check doesn't pick up the draw. Because you know, psychologically, it's very difficult to... Yeah, he is going to go for the draw. He might go for the draw. Wow. Because after such a disappointing miss, it's very difficult to keep on playing. You somehow believe that your luck has gone. And it might be even a wise decision to go for a draw here.   Yeah, I think... But I'm going to... I feel really bad for Balash, all in and everything. Because yeah, I mean, it was such a beautiful game. It was indeed. And a huge, huge miss by Balash. Oh, she's playing on. I can't believe it. What? What is this decision? And he actually raised his eyebrows. I could see that. I think he's surprised. I mean, this is just a number. And if I go queen d3 here? Oh, oh, my wine. Oh, my wine. You know, that would be like an Eric phrase. Oh, no, my wine.  What if I go queen d3? That's a good question. Attacking the porn. Why is Janse so optimistic about her chances here? No idea. But you know, they're actually... I was thinking that maybe I can make some tactics work, but... Yeah. I'm not sure. How do I do that? Okay, so queen d3, let's say. I'm attacking your pawn. What do you do? I was trying to figure out a square for my king to go away. And then after queen g6 to try something like bishop takes f4. But then you will have an intermediate check. Correct. I believe that all my king moves. Correct. So for example, if king, let's say, d8 takes. Irina is trying bishop takes f4, trying to get me to do this. But now I have queen g8. Oh, all right. Queen g8, yeah. And you probably lose. Even this... It's not an easy one to win. No, no. Even this is not easy. But okay, if you're badass, you're just like, wow.  So what do you do against the queen d3 threatening this pawn? g5 is out of option, for sure. g5, f5, and I'm very happy. And this is bad news because we cannot really allow white to have two past points. Okay. So if you go passive with knight f8, it's... And now I just go a5 and start running. No, wait. I can easily defend against it. I could move the bishop and then you cannot... No, the bishop is pinned. That's why I played queen d3. What do I do then? No, this is just an insane decision by Gensaia, in my opinion. I mean, there's absolutely no need to be optimistic here. I mean, what does she expect is going to happen? That he's going to blunder a knight jump? I have absolutely... No, I think she just tried to exploit the fact that he's disappointed, you know? I think... But this is a very risky decision, I should say. I mean, this is a team game. The half point is already a bonus. Definitely. Because... And if she loses this game now, I mean, it's a really, really bad mistake. I just don't know what you're supposed to do against queen d3. Okay, let's try... Let's say you go knight c5. What about queen takes g6? Yeah, and now you can't take, I don't think... Where do I take on a4? If you take on a4... But these two points are definitely better than... Yeah, they're better than one, but I'm worried that this knight is loose. Let me see. There's a one-squared d1. If I give a... But where do you... You don't have a way to give a check and attack the knight. Okay, let's give a check here. Queen f7. King... King d8. King d8? Should be. All right, but I'm worried that the knight is too far away. Oh, you have check. Damn. I wanted to show that even... But what about rook c7? Queen... Also queen a8. Yeah, I'm already finding ways. But hold on, rook c2, king h3. Now knight c5. But your pieces are just so... Yes, they are very loose. They are all tactical weaknesses, actually. You know, and here, even if she got this position, does she expect to win this position? I don't know.  Maybe it's a bit of a youth coming through and unwarranted optimism. Is it, you know, would it be a moment when the team captain should have interfered? Wow, I mean... But she's still playing her game, unfortunately. Yeah, it was just... But I believe that if she was just following how this game was going, I definitely believe that Pia would have told her to go for the repetition. Yeah. But we have to admire Shansaya for her will to win, actually. Well, look, I admire Shansaya as a chess player. I think she's unbelievable. She's just an incredible talent. But I don't know if I do admire this decision. Actually, I think we can talk about how great she is. But I think this is one of those decisions that does show her... Light cost her. Yeah, her... Her... Certain lack of maturity. Especially because it's not an individual competition. If it was an individual competition, sure, she can do what she wants. But every half-point counts. I would expect her... But perhaps she had time. Maybe she checked all the other positions and decided that that's the chance. I don't know. Let's have a look at the other games and see... Yeah. Maybe there was a serious reason for her to keep on playing. All right, let's go to the game. Let's see what one game we haven't seen for a while is Ravi against Yovanka. Ravi is just playing. Ravi has just played the move Bishop to e3, attacking this knight and... What about Queen g6, let's say? Protecting the knight looks logical. What I like about Black's position is that Black controls the only open file, the a-file, and White doesn't have a way to activate the rook. So I think that's... I think that should be quite good for Black now. On the other hand, it's not easy to threaten anything with Black here either. No, but I tend to agree. I quite like Black's position. Yeah, I just think Black has to be doing well here. Or fine, at least. Yeah, I think this is a tough position. This one we expect to be at least not worst for Black. So let's check another one. Let's have a look at Hussein versus Maria, because we thought it would be a tough one for Hussein to defend. This actually... Wait. The king is so badly placed on h5, because let's show a variation. Rook f3, let's say. Rook takes b3. Take, take on b3. And after g4, a4. I queen with check. I queen with check, though. That's an important difference, because I was going to say that after g8 queen, there is queen h1 check, and then when the king goes to the g-file, I can check again and trade queens and win the opponent game. But apparently, you're queening with a check, so that's out of question. Ah, but maybe I have a4 here. Yeah, that's what I thought, but what if I... You must play rook f4, I believe. Rook f4. Yeah, and then after king b3. I don't see another option. I think it's just losing. Because after g4, I've got rook b3. Yeah, it's just losing. a4 is just the end of the game. And he played. Balash played queen d3 actually. And we're going to see what the chance I have in mind. I'm worried a bit about... I'm worried about my wine. Don't worry, I'm only going to order the second most expensive bottle on the menu. Not the first. All right. Yeah, so I think Maria is winning. I think a4 is crushing. So that's going to be a win for Maria, and she's going to find it. We'll go to the chance I came in a moment. Let's go. Let's quickly check in with Sabina against Pia. Yeah, and I think that black might be able to hold this one. Because the rook went off the board. And that's actually good news for black, because there are opposite colored bishops. So if I manage to trade knights, it's just a draw. Another point you might be making is that it might not be that easy to trade those knights. But is it really that much in white's position here? Well, I would be very, very, very worried here as black. Really? Yeah. All right. So which move would you play with white here? Let's just play around. I'll play 93. 93. But where are you going? You want to go to c4 perhaps? No. Well, maybe. Maybe because this trade is quite good for me. Yeah. Yeah. How do I trade knights? Also, I'm a bit puzzled by the fact that she pushed the pawn to a4. She was forced at some point, yeah. All right. Because now I cannot really create passers, right? All right. No, this is horrible. No, wait. Come on. Yeah. This is really disgusting. Okay. Let's play h5. And d1. You wanted to force me to play b5 as well. All right. I will play that at some point. So how should I defend here? Let's play bishop b7. You want to play the bishop? Yeah, it's all right. And the bishop goes to c6. Looks decent-ish. I think you should have started with h5 actually now. Yeah, I like h5. Good shout. Yeah, let's go. But then it's on a light square and you have this bishop e2 sometimes. Might be. Well, what if I go knight c4? Let's play your move. Knight c4. I think you can probably, maybe you can't actually. No, I can't trade the bishop for the knight, I believe. It's close. Because then you come with the king to b5, no?  It still might, is it enough? It might not be enough. It's close. It's really close. Okay, but let's first see if I don't have anything else, then we can come back to that. What if I try, but b5 is terrible because of knight, but wait, maybe I have b4. Knight c6. Yeah, I don't. I thought actually you were going for knight e6, but knight f5 might be better, yeah. Well, I don't know. You have knight f6 again here. It's not. Yeah, knight f6. Now maybe bishop e5. Now your king is breaking through on c5. Yeah, this, this, this.  Yeah, what did she do? Knight f8 and draw? Why? That's interesting. Wait, what happened here? What's going on? Queen d3 knight f8 and just draw? Why? Yeah, that was an interesting, a really interesting psychological moment here, I believe. I mean, this is, this is pretty insane. Okay, well, Balash, very disappointed. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. No idea. Well, I definitely think that the point is that he was really disappointed in how the game turned, turned out, and he just didn't want to take any more risks. And we see actually another result. Maria just finished her game. Yeah, Maria won. Congratulations to Maria being a superstar for the women's team. So the women are now one up. One up, yeah. And a great relief that Jean-Sahir saved this game. It, it might be critical. Well, it's huge. It's a huge, huge, huge half point or full point. And how is good night doing? Good night. She's a pawn down. Well, it's a pawn, isn't it? But has Eric got the technique to win such a position? I think actually that he might have experienced on his own skin some technique here. And I believe that he has very big chances to, to bring a full point here. Rook h2, king e7, yeah. In fact here, can he just go h6? H6. Yeah. Because if you take, I take. Rook b2, rook h7. And this ending has to be very good for white, surely? No, it definitely is. But sometimes black can save these ones if black manages to push very fast the b-point. But I'm not sure it's the case though. Yeah, it doesn't look too fast, does it? Yeah. But what about... Is it forced here? Well, h6, g takes h6 is forced. That's clear. Right. No other move. But after rook takes h6, there might... Yeah, but a5 looks very slow. No, a5 looks okay to play rook b4 and so on. I would say. I think that's what she wants to do. Okay, and now the question is, do we protect this guy? You could actually try some rook h2. You could do, but I'm just trying to work out whether it's worth going active here. e4? Yeah, going e4. But the problem is that there is rook b2, sorry. Oh, rook b2, yeah. And I don't see a way to hide away with the king from checks. Right, that is an issue. Let's say f5, or should we try actually? No, e5 isn't good because after rook b4, you have to go back with the king, right? So f5. Now let's say rook b4, king e5, rook b5, king f4. And now I have a4. You do. And how is this one? e5, right? Well, I can give a check or I can go e5.  All right. So first, can I play king f6? Because if I can't, then it's very bad. Rook e5. And after king g7, you've got rook g6. Okay, so I unfortunately can't go on f6. It means that I have to go back on d6. d6 is the same thing. Yeah, definitely. No, sorry, it's not. Why not? You've got king d5. Oh, right, right. Even this is one of those weird ones. No, but it's a draw. Should be a draw. Yeah. Okay. But you're right. I can go e5 first. Yeah. And now the question is after a3, I guess. That's what have king e8, let's say. Yeah. And how do we push the plans? f6, I guess. Ah, f6, a2, and you want to just go e6. I was trying to make this one work. I'm not sure it does. Because after a1, a1 queen, there is rook h8 mate. And how do you defend against it? Well, king d8. Now again, rook. I can give rook d7 check. All right. And that wins because king e8, f7, rook d8, and f8 is queen.  And actually, he took on h6. Yeah, he went for this one. Well, I think he should go for this. I see that there might be another result. Actually, I win a draw against Bobby. Oh, wow. Let's have a quick look at that one, because it seemed like it was really unbalanced. So Bobby, a queen up for a rook, a bishop, and three pawns. Well, that means that black should be doing great here, but perhaps it's just a draw. There is no way to avoid the perpetual. What perpetual? I thought that some perpetual with knight f6 and something. I'm threatening mate. So wait. There is no perpetual, actually. I could play bishop g6 or something. Yeah, bishop g6 or knight g6. You can't go rook d7 because I have this check now. So bishop g6. Then maybe... I think that's the move. Knight f4. Yeah, and then you can go back. But do you really have to go back? That's the question. How do you? Because if you can somehow consolidate, then you've got some material up with black, right? What? No. Material up? Yeah. I mean, rook, bishop, and three pawns for a queen. Rook, bishop, and three pawns, is it? It's more than enough. Isn't it? Well, I think it's very close. Because rook and bishop are eight points and another three pawns are 11 points. And the queen, from what I know, is worth nine points. Right. But perhaps white has enough activity here. Yeah. I think a draw feels right here. What about rook? No, I can't. Yeah, the problem is that after rook f6, let's say... Rook f6, okay. You could even take on g6. Let's say knight g6, knight g6. No, this one looks quite fine for black, I think. Yeah. So how do you do after rook f6? Do you have knight h5? No, you don't have, because I can take on f2. I'm a bit puzzled here. Yeah, maybe Bobbi just was... You know, maybe they're both tired and just simply can't see the clear route and just thought, well... Yeah, the position is still very complicated. With so many pieces on the board, anything could happen, but somehow I feel that black was in the driving seat here. All right, well a draw. There we go. And actually... That means that the women's team is still up one point and there are three remaining games. Let's go back to Eric. Amazingly, Gunai, I don't know what she's doing. Why didn't she play a5 here? Perhaps she thought that that would be too slow or... But now it's like, isn't this just... Isn't this just like a classically easily winning position, like really 101 stuff? It might be. It might very well be. Rook a6, c1. Oh yeah, rook a6 or let's say... But rook a6 and king e5 and I think... Yeah, this is nice. Because at points you could even sacrifice the rook for the pawn when it runs too far away. And you've got two pawns. No, this is just easily winning. I have absolutely no idea why you wouldn't try here the move a5. But perhaps she just calculated that it's not... I mean, it's probably... Maybe Eric's best move is just to go rook h2 and then if check you go king d5. Yeah, and then you hide. Yeah, and you can just come in. But at least you... I don't know, you try here and hold something. But let's go back. Let's try to see if after rook f2 it's an easy win. Let's see the position in the game. Rook f2? Yeah. Well, he played the move that I first thought, which looks like a logical one. Yeah, because you want to give the check and push the king back. Yeah, but the problem is that maybe I could... Let me think for a moment. Just a moment. What about a move like b5 here? Okay, check. King is 7. My point is that after king c5 I've got rook f3. And then I could try to get back a pawn because you have no way of protecting the e pawn with the rook. Right, but I can just go rook b6. Rook b6. Um, okay. Is it? Is it already over? It's just over. Okay, rook b2 I guess. B4. Okay, let's try to make this one. King e8. Or king f8, actually. King f8 should be better. Okay, f5. B3? Yeah, it looks better. Rook b1. Rook... After move the king. King e8, yeah. Well, it's terrible, yeah. I have to agree that this one looks completely lost. The king is just shielded, so there's no check behind. So it's just, it's a classic easy win. It's just not even, it's not even a position you have to work. What about a move like rook d2 after rook h7? Ah, actually she played it. Because maybe I could try to... Rook d2? Yeah, I could maybe try to run with the king to support my pawn at some point. Okay, you just go king... Ah, you go to c4 now. Yeah. What about rook... Rook e2?  King is... King d7. Yeah, but once the king goes passive, it's just... Oh, sorry, not there, obviously. Now it's just rudimentary. Rook d2. Yeah, rook e2, yeah, king d3. You might... But wait, rook b4. Yeah. Okay, but I still... No, it's still... I still easily come in front.  It's really not even a sweat, because they're two central pawns. It's just... But he actually went for king e4. King e4 is also fine. But it allows ideas actually with king c5. So b5, let's try. Okay. Yeah, he didn't have to do this, but okay, let's try f5. Before? Yep. I have better chances than I did before. King c5. But it's still that same position where even if you get to the queen, I have the king and two pawns. Rook d5. King c4. I've got to be a little bit careful here. But you've got f6. You should be probably... But I don't know, is it still winning? I mean... It feels like these are unnecessary chances, you know, to give to your opponent. Well, probably. But I mean, the point remains that even if you queen, I'm going to have two pawns with the king. It's just... It's the only way you lose this position is you allow a rook b5. For example, even in this position, allowing rook b5 is fine for white. Because after rook b5, rook c6. I can just do this. And I queen and check. Right, right. I mean, it's just really hard to go wrong here. Yeah. It's really, really, really hard. Yeah, that's true. I will have to agree with you on that. I believe Eric has huge chances to win today. Just has to win this position. Yeah. Has to win. Okay, let's go to Ravi's game. And we've got an ending. A rook end game actually. Yeah, another rook ending. And Ravi's done something kind of clever. Because he's exchanged... So here, yeah, he exchanged everything off. And this is, I guess, what he was calculating. And now the king comes in. There is a problem. I could... Okay, even if you play king d4, I'm still okay. But let's try c5. In this position? Yeah. Ah, that's a nice move. Because if b takes c5, I've got rook c4. So I'm winning the pawn back. And if you play b5, I could actually go for d4. C takes, I guess. You could also try king d3, but it's perhaps quite similar. Is it, though? You could have tried it, I believe. Because now I've got rook b4. But it's just a draw, right? Are you sure? Because the e5 pawn is a bit... Yeah, I mean, I understand it's a little bit... It should be. It should be a draw, though. Yeah, yeah, it should be. Somehow. But I believe you could have tried to play king d3 instead of taking on d4. On d4. Because now after rook a3 maybe. Rook a3, yeah. And now after rook c2, what do I do now? There is king c4. Oh, no, king c4. Yeah, it's... And she played c5, which I really like. I really like that move. Yeah, but we have to make sure that after b5 everything is fine. Really? I think Ravi's just going to play rook b2 here. Surely that's the move. Ah, rook b2. Yeah, that's a good move, actually. And oh, I don't like this. Maybe it was unnecessary to play c5 at all. I suddenly don't like it. Because it seems like I have to play d4, right? Okay, then I take. Oh, you take. Then it's all right. She takes b4. This is fine. This is fine? For black, no? I don't know. I mean, even if you managed to win that pawn, let's say you play king c4 and then take on b4, I will have some rook a2. Let's play just king g7 here, or king g6. Yeah, it doesn't matter. So king c4. Yeah, this is fine. f4, king f5. Are you sure? This is going to be a draw, I believe. Rook a2, king f5. We might get to a similar end game. Rook takes g2, rook f7, king g6, rook f6, king g7, rook e6, rook f2. Yeah, but aren't you just your way behind? No? I don't know. Rook f3. I have king f7, actually, maybe. King, oh wait. You can progress with your pawns, can't you? Yeah. I have to be a bit more careful, I believe. Wait, wait, wait. Because you tricked me. I didn't trick you, I'm just playing chess. You played b3 for me, I didn't want to play b3. Oh, you didn't want to play b3? No, it was your move, actually. Okay, okay. Let's play f4 here. Okay, I'll do the same. And now I go for rook a2. Okay, do the same. I could also throw in a check on c2, actually. That might be, will it be smart or not? Okay, let's protect the pawn. King f7. King f7? Yeah. Okay, I check. King f8. Yeah, that's the way. He takes d5. Okay. Should be fine. Maybe I could play g4 here. g4? This should be fine. I hope so. I don't know. Really? I very much hope so. Okay. Take on g2. King g8. Now I should figure out if I take or I play g3. Which one is working? I think I can take on f3. They both lose. Why? King h7? You get mated. Rook a2. How? Ah, you're doing this one. Does this work? No, I still win, yeah. How? f2 and rook f4, you mean, right? Yeah. But maybe something else. Yeah, you're tricking me here in this sand game, and I thought it's going to be just an easy draw, actually. No, I don't think so. Let me be more careful, because this should be the way I play. I think the king has to go to protect the pawn on e6. He played b5, by the way. He played b5, which I'm very surprised. He played b5. He played b5. Maybe after rook b2 you can throw in some f4. I don't know. Maybe not. Maybe it's not so easy. I'm sorry. Rook b2 feels completely standard to me here, though. No, yeah. I will have to agree that it looked like a good try. But black should be fine. I definitely believe that black should be fine. I think I'm just not finding the best way. Okay, so d4. Let's go again. Okay. Take, take. Take here? Yeah. Okay, what was it? Can d3, yeah. Okay, king g6, right? I have another idea. What if I go for g4 here? G4. Yeah. That makes, that feels a lot better. That feels a lot better. Okay, I'll try this. Rook, um, the opponent game is lost, right? Rook a2. Okay, so I'll try this again. The same, yeah. I think so. I'll give it a try. I have to protect the pawn, I believe. King of seven. Okay, I'll give this. Let's go again for that king of eight. Now, this one feels like much better drawing chances. I might have a tempia up compared to the previous ones, right? But even this takes, takes. King c5. I have to, do I? I actually don't have to take there, or do I? No, you do eventually because I'm going to go g3 and then improve. But what, okay, let's try first taking on g2. Yeah, and you might just have rook d2. Rook d2, yeah. Okay, this one definitely feels like you can make a draw. This is a draw. Rook d4. Yeah, this is a draw. Finally, yay. This is a draw. So there might, yeah, and I agree with you in principle, but you know, black does have to be present. But it's surprising, yes, that it took so many efforts to... What is she doing? c4. F4, king d3, c4? What is this? What? What's going on? That's a funny trick. Ah, okay, three. This is her, this is brilliant. But it's not working. Why? It's not working. Rook b2. Rook b3. Take. Take? King d3. Ah, it doesn't work. It's just lost. Oh wow, it doesn't work. No, it's lost. Rook b2. It doesn't work. It's lost. Yeah, it's losing.  Oh no. Oh no. Uh-oh. Oh no, your vanguards just completely... Oh no. Yeah, that's really unfortunate. And... Wow.  She can see that king d3 now is... And she has to now go back with the rook. Unbelievable. This is just game over because the king is too close to the pawn. No, this is actually... Oh, that's disappointing. What? Oh no. But okay, I'm sure that she was going for this rook b3. But we can see that she's quite low on the clock. But she played a great game today. Yeah, she really did. And a draw would be a deserved result, but this one... Oh, this is... Brutal. This will hurt a lot. Brutal. Poor your vanguard. Really, she's had a lot of positions this tournament, which... Wow, Eric is managing to completely screw it up, by the way, which is shocking. Okay, I believe this game will just be over very soon, actually. You just push. He just pushes the pawn, and I believe your vanguard will have to resign in a few moves. Brutal, because she's had so many good positions, and she's lost like three or four games, which she had good positions in. This is really disappointing. Very disappointing. Let's go to Eric. Now, what has Eric done here? What does this guy manage to do? So f5, right, f5 already is just a... I mean, the whole thing just starting here. King e4 is just insane. Why are you not going king c4 here? Okay, king e4 should still be okay. I know why. Ah, okay. b5. No, I take. I play rook h3. And you want to go king d5? I think it's not bringing rook e2. Really? King... Yes, you will not be able to make progress. But you can't take the pawn. I will not take the pawn. Okay. King e4. How do you make progress here? Okay, let's say rook e1, rook a1. Then the checks are coming. It's a draw, I believe. Wow. Now you have to play rook g3 and try to come with the king from the other side, but it's not going to be enough. Rook a2. And I just keep the rook on the second rank. Okay. I think this might be what he missed. Is this really a draw, is it? I think so. Could be. Okay, so let's try to go with the king to e6 or somewhere. But then I will be just checking you. Yeah, you check on the side. So I have to come round. Wow. What a defensive resource. I think this might be a draw, yeah. Holy cow. b5 check. Really? Okay, I can always go king c3, right? Yeah, but I've made some progress here. Let's say rook d1. Now you're running to b4. And I think I could even play here, I don't know. After b3 you've got rook h6 maybe. Yeah, this is a better version, but it might be not enough even though even though it looks better. Wait, rook e1, king e7. Yeah, this is a good way of handling things. But let's go to the game because the position on the board, he plays e4, so actually maybe I was a bit too critical because I just completely forgot that rook e4, rook e7 exists. But there is rook b3. Yeah, but he's going to bank on the fact that this is some kind of weird, weird win. How? Yeah, like here. Wait, wait, wait. I don't have to take here. I want to take with the rook there. Okay. But how do I do that? Rook, the point is that there will be a check on b5. So after, oh god, it's so difficult. These rook end games are insane. Wait, I have to figure this one out. If I take on e4, it's just lost, I believe, or? No, I don't know. f6, rook b1. Let's, well, f7, rook f1, king g5. Yeah, wait. Ah, it's enough because I'm running to the king back to c4 then until you get to g6. Yeah, it's a draw like this. Yeah? Okay, let's see. Rook b3, king g4 is on the board. A draw. Yeah, I believe so. Wouldn't surprise me if it was. It's difficult, but wait, he's got a lot of time. And she doesn't? She doesn't, but I have to say that black has only moves here. Like she doesn't have much of a choice, right? So let's try once again. King g4, king takes e4. Does rook e7 check help? Yeah, that's what I was trying to work out, but I don't think it does. Let's try it anyway. Rook e7, I believe. King d5, right? f6, now rook b1 again, I believe. Yeah, that's not going to help. No, it's a draw. It's a draw. Wow. If he draws this, it's really a catastrophe for him because it was. It really is a winning ending, I mean. No, but I will have, if he is not going to win this one, I will have to disappoint his fans and say that he needs to work on his rook and games. Of course he does. We all do. Yeah. I mean, what happened here? Rook b7 is okay. f5 is a mistake. This has to be a blunder. But, yeah.  You have to make the king choose one direction, right? This is really bad. This is really bad. What a blunder. Yeah. Yeah, brutal, Eric.  It can be poor in understanding that he has to do some work. It can just be tiredness. No, I think this is just, you know, somehow a multitude of those. Like, of course, they have less energy now with every round. They get more tired. It builds up. Yeah. And Ravi Haria does win against Ivanka. This game is going to be a draw. And what a huge half point this could be for the women's team. Meaning that we've just got one game left, which is Sabina against Pierre. And this looks over. Pretty much.  And very importantly, we're protecting. No, that might be that the men's team will win again. Yeah, the men's team will win. But to be honest, looking at the results, it could have been an absolute whitewash today. I mean, let's have a look. Balash Chonka was winning. Leandro looked like he had a good position. But he wasn't winning at any point, Leandro. No, he wasn't winning, but he was... Well, I don't know. We didn't check with the engine, right? It's not clear that he missed something. Bobby Cheng had an interesting position. Ravi obviously won, which is maybe a half point that way. And Eric Rosen was winning. So there's like three games there where at least two games were completely winning for white. So actually, even today, even if Pierre loses, which I think she will, it could have been a lot worse for the women. And it means they're still in with a chance. It means they're still in with a chance. But what will they lose? If so, assuming Sabino wins? If Sabino wins and Gunai makes a draw, they will lead by one point today. That's okay. And that will be plus five overall. No problem. I still have faith. I think plus five, is that too much for two rounds? It's difficult, because that will mean that the women's team will have to press for plus five tomorrow. Plus five? I mean, how do you get back over that? Because we saw that with the black pieces, it's much more difficult. Sure. I mean, today would have been nice to have an even match or to try to have a plus one or something. But it did not work out. And I think that if they lose today by a point, they have to go all in tomorrow. Could be all in. Yes. Could be an all-in situation tomorrow. Yeah, I agree.  Today could have been the end. Because look, if Eric wins, which he should, right? That's one. So that will be like plus six. And then if, I mean, it's not even close to Chonka. That's like plus seven. Yeah, but then Yavanka shouldn't have lost. Oh yeah, maybe. So that's minus six and nine. And also Irene maybe could have, you know. But the match was looking all right. So I definitely see why she chose to agree for a draw. But maybe if it was now the moment that Bobby would offer her a draw, maybe she would have decided otherwise, actually. Possibly, possibly. But the position was so complicated. Yeah, because as we were saying, the difference in the price money is quite big. It's huge. It's 5,000 pound each. Each, yeah. It's a difference between winning seven and a half thousand pounds and two and a half thousand pounds. Now I can tell you this. I've never won seven and a half thousand pounds playing chess. I don't know if you have. No, I think my biggest price was around six thousand dollars. Yeah, exactly. I mean, even I was even speaking to Joe Gallagher, who's been a chess professional for over 30 years. He's never won seven and a half thousand pounds. Right, this is huge money. I mean, it's like that. And then of course, there's maybe some additional money from sponsors or fees or whatever. It's just, it's a huge amount. And every half point counts now. Yeah, and I see Gunae bringing her king towards her B-pon. Let's get back to our game, yeah, because I believe that Sabino will be able to win his game. What a tough situation, actually, because if she loses this one, it will be the third one in a row. And yeah, that she is going to lose, because it's just, there's just no, no chance. It's just, well, she has to hope for some incredible, like, well, no, there's just no. So after f7, there is rook f1, right? Yeah, f7. And you cannot take on b5 because I take on f7. And if you protect the pawn by playing king to g6, then I just go king to c4. And now if you play rook b6, let's say, threatening to play rook f6, I can just take on f7, I believe. And b4. And you are not in time with your king. King e6, b3. The classic shoulder barge. Yeah, king e5, king c3, rook c6. And now very important king d2. Oh, king d2. King d3 is also good. Yeah, king d2 is also. Yeah, just not to b2, because then you might run into trouble. Yeah, you've got to keep the pawn fluid. And the point is that this position is a well-known draw because... You cannot come closer, right? Exactly. No, this is, this is absolutely well-known. And I do believe that this game will end in a draw. So let's get back to Pia versus Sabina, right? Yeah, she just played knight h5. Knight h5, yeah. Her point is that... But actually, even that one is. Yeah, you can just take, actually. Do you? I think so, because... But wait, I'm getting the h4 point, does it? Huh? No, you're not.  You don't have to play e7. No, no, no, no, I go king e5, I play bishop g5, and I queen. Yeah, this is lost. Dead, lost. Yeah. What a terrible outcome here. And king e5, it's just not even... It's not even a... Yeah, and it's just over. Yeah, we can see how difficult it is to keep your energy levels high throughout such a long, and I would say very tiring event because all the opponents are strong. You don't get, you know, like an easy game in the office. All are very good players, and yeah. If you are physically not feeling so well or something, you have to pay for it during the game. I... Pia might not resign here, but it doesn't really... Actually, you can't make a mistake here with white.  It's just completely over. Wow, and it was the clash of the captains in this game. Yeah. And actually, it's quite interesting that today's round will be one by one point. Yeah. Only the slightest difference, one point. Yeah. Oh, yeah, tough, tough one. And yeah, do you think the ladies will go all in tomorrow, or do you think they will? I don't know. I think with white they really have to try though, because if they... Let's say it's plus five tomorrow, and it is 50-50, then that means in the last game they need seven and a half out of 10 with black. Yeah, that's very difficult to achieve. Very difficult. So maybe they don't have to go all in, but they need to get like a plus two, plus three event, you know? Yeah. Plus two, plus three round. Okay, bishop c4 here by Pierre, but just a technicality, bishop g5, of course. Bishop g5, yeah, and I expect she'll... Yeah, and she did resign. Well, a very good game by Sabino. He had a slight advantage, and he slowly nurtured it into, you know, I believed in Pierre's ability to keep this position to make a draw in that end game, but unfortunately Sabino proved more resilient actually today. Yeah, and I just think the position in general might be difficult for black, because it's one where white has got the long-term... Risk-free advantage, right? Risk-free advantage, better structure, many ideas, and it's a sort of position, you know, I've suffered many times with black, and it looks like you can hold, but actually it's like... I believe it was a very wise strategy by Sabino choosing this type of positions today, and yeah, I believe he also had the luck on his side to get it on the board, because I think he might have prepared exactly this thing, but we might actually be able to find out more insights a bit later when we will have the captains. Definitely. So, only one game left, it's Eric versus Gnai, so he played rook h7. Yeah, she gave a check on g1. Yeah, he wanted to try a rook h4 check and rook f4, but it will not work out. Yeah, now she can give a check from behind. Yeah, rook f1. Now, when the king goes to e6, let's say you can start pushing the b1. Yeah, and she went for the check, king e6 on the board. Yeah, and now b4 is an easy, easy, easy draw. Yeah, I think there's no way to mess it up for black. No, just no way you ever... Okay, he will probably try something like rook h5, no? No. Then you take on f6. Even you can go b3 here. All right, because rook f5 is not an option anymore, you can actually lose this one. Because there will be, yeah, a queen f1 check in the end. Yeah, yeah, this is losing. Oh, we have actually had a very similar position on one of our previous days. I think this is losing. It might be. The king is very close, so it requires some calculation, but yeah. There's just no chance of... There's no way to even try for a win here, actually. No, it's going to be a draw. Right. Amazing. Eric, just to not convert this. You know, that is also a difference between a lot of IMs, basically, who never really push past the 24, 50, 2500 area, because it's about conversion. Yeah, definitely. A lot of the time. It's about when you've got that winning position, such a winning position, you really should convert. Yeah, there are small differences, but one which in the end count, and this is an event, actually, where I believe one can see where he needs to work on. Like you can clearly see your flaws when you play against strong opponents, and that's exactly why I think that for women it's maybe a bit more difficult to make big progress, because we don't play so many strong tournaments. We play many women's events. I believe that if a little girl would play from the beginning, only against little boys and later men, then the situation would be actually different. I believe that the women would be somehow forced to play stronger. Yeah, but then it's really double-edged, because you cannot change everything overnight, because basically if you take out the women's section at all after in chess, then probably all of the professional women's chess players would just quit, and you would have to wait for one or two generations. Well, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. H2, Kingsley 3. I don't know why I remembered about all of these things suddenly. Yeah, it's just that sometimes I even think about myself as well, why am I not a better player? And these are the reasons I see, because it's not easy to find a balance between making a living and playing very strong tournaments. I think that's the biggest challenge for most of the players, and actually not only women. No, it's a very fair point. Yeah. Okay, good night looking away now.  Okay, okay, H3. Okay, it's just not really much to Kingsley 2. Maybe they'll just repeat like this. Yeah, that would be. She's hoping he loses on time. I think, I think she's not. She's not expecting that? No. Come on, Eric, time to give it up. He's trying F7. Okay, B3. He'll take the pawn. And then he'll go King here. And it's time to shake hands, basically. Yeah, I'm afraid so. Really, not much to discuss here. Okay, good night taking her time, which is perfectly reasonable. And yeah, just an unbelievable day really. I'm assuming that we're going to get both captains in at the end, which should be in just a couple of minutes because Eric, you can, okay. I don't know what Eric's trying here because it's a bit random. Like, well, what is he trying to achieve with this stuff? There are no tricks. Even King B1. Oh, King B1. Ah, King C1, RKH1 he wants. He's got one last trick. Even that's a draw. Yeah, but this was a nice try. Yeah, look at this. He wanted this, and then he wanted to do this. Look at this. Typical Eric Rosen. Pinning the rook, and then here, then he makes a queen. But even this position, oh, you've got to be careful though. I mean, this is like, I don't know. I reckon this is probably still a draw. Let's say I go RKH1. Is this ever a win? It can't be, surely. How can this ever be winning? I put the pawn on B2, and I just... Yeah, I believe this should be just a draw. Probably still a draw.  Right. But RKH2, King C3, RKH3. I mean, Eric is looking for tricks like it's a one-minute game. King C2. Okay, let's just get this repetition done. Yeah, we will see a handshake very soon. This is not a one-minute game on the internet, so... So, it will be a very important, I believe, half point for Eunice, you know, feeling, because she had a really tough, tough few days. And actually today she was also under big pressure, and a very important save for her. Perhaps it will boost her confidence, and perhaps tomorrow will be better. And I believe that's what actually all the ladies team should hope for. Just hope that tomorrow will be a better day, and try to play their best chess. It has to be a better day. There is no other choice. If they have a bad day tomorrow, it's pretty much all over. So, I'm hoping that tomorrow... I'd love to see a plus three day for the ladies. Let's, you know, make it a two-point game, a two-point match with one day to go. That would be drama. All right. Eric. We'll get to a very exciting round tomorrow. That will be, that will be just amazing, I believe. Yeah, absolutely. And anyone... It is so interesting in this match that you cannot really know who's gonna go down. Yeah. You cannot predict that. Yeah. So, yeah. I am a bit puzzled, but there's two players. I don't know what's going on here.  Let's go. This is... Yeah, just don't lose your time. Maybe, yeah. Well, if he loses on time, I'll have no sympathy for him at all. Because, yeah. Okay, let's go. Right. Draw. All right. So, a very well-fought day today. And actually, the men increase their lead by one point. So, it's plus five. Yeah. And it's getting tougher and tougher for the ladies, I'm afraid. Yeah, five point lead now for the men. And it means tomorrow the ladies with white have to pull the rabbit out the hat. Let's have a look at the individual results. Great results for Maria Muzichuk and Antoinette Stefanova winning with the black pieces. But disappointing results along the way there. Olga Giria losing. Pierre Kramling losing. Jovanka, that's the incorrect result. We'll get that changed. Yeah, Jovanka actually lost today against Ravi. So, we need to quickly amend that. So, Ravi winning yet another game which he shouldn't win. So, Ravi has got three or four points, which he shouldn't have won. There we go. So, that's a huge swing. And then the rest of the games, I would say, apart from Balash who should have won. Right. And Eric who should have won. You know, as I say, every cloud has a silver lining. And I think today the women, they only lost by one, but they could have lost by three in my opinion. So, that means after around a 42.5, 37.5, wow. Big, big, big day tomorrow for the women. Right, I expect a great fight tomorrow. And I believe we're going to have a lot of fun watching those games because the last few days have been even more interesting than the beginning of the match, which was interesting as well. And I'm looking forward to see some very interesting chess. And I hope that we will actually be able to get now the team captains. Yeah, we'll go for a quick break and find that out. And if not, then we will sign off. So, don't go anywhere. We'll be back in just a few moments to wrap up today. Yeah, it looks like it's in this row, this row, the V at least. So, I need F, everything is H. Okay, this is G. I really like the Tournament Hall with all of the books. And generally speaking, it's a very nice library. One can think of how many people have been here, who read the books. This is the correct row, but G, I need to check the other one maybe on the other side of the room. So, this is C. Okay, this is B, which means I'm too far. It must be on the other side of the room or maybe upstairs. So, this is C again. C again is the same that was here. So, I was expecting for a different result. Let's continue. It's amazing to see such a variety of subjects and books all in one place. So, Gibraltar might be a little tiny country, but with an opening on all the subjects and on everywhere in the world. I know there are even some chess books. I didn't find them yet. Maybe before the end of the Tournament we will have a look. And yeah, I think everything is covered here. So, history books. I think this is the history section of the library. History of the Royal Navy. Okay, so let's try on the opposite side of the room. It's probably far from D. Should be. So, this is F. This is finally the correct shelf. This is the level. And I need number three. So, 59, 50. It's obviously in this direction. 28, 26. What is this? Wildlife. I can't read the rest of the title, but obviously this is about wildlife, which means animals, I guess. So, I'm looking for the third. That's right there, right? Yes. Okay, I think I got it. It's really, really far. It's well hidden. Very hard to spot, but the system is very clear. And obviously that's the one. It's locked. Let's try this way. Okay, let's be careful. It's a very historic library, so I would want to break it tonight. So, what I'm looking for is this one. It's very tricky to get. Think I need a diet. So, it's number three. Here we go. Let's see what we've got. So, it's sport in Norway. We got it. Let's see what it is. Let's find out which year. 1864. Nice. Very historic book. I think it's because Magnus Carlsen won the Tata Steel, so we want to congratulate him. I guess I'll have a connection. So, yeah. We are back at the Jeep Chess Battle of the Sexes, and I've got the team captains with me, Grandmasters Pia Kramling and Sabino Brunello. They actually played against each other today. So, Sabino, a very well-thought match today. Did you see this one coming? Did you believe in today's win? I always believe in our win. I think that's my job as a captain to believe in myself and my guys. All right. So, what about you, Pia? How do you see the match today? And how do you see the girls' performance today? What are your thoughts? Yeah, today, Anto Annetta could play her second game after such a long time. And I think she came here and she won the game, so it was very important. And, yeah, finally we lost with minus one. Maybe I could have been even more or maybe I'm not sure. But I just thought that we made a much better match than we had made because we had made two very, was it two very big or three very big upsets. But to lose minus one is not bad at all.  The problem is that we have lost that we are today. We went into the round with minus four, which is a huge score when we only have two rounds left or three rounds left. So, I think that was the problem. The match today wasn't bad at all. I think it was quite a good match, actually. But, yeah, minus one, you would have needed to have it plus one for us instead. Right, right. So Sabinov, what is the strategy for the remaining two rounds? Are you going to encourage the guys to play solid or just play their normal chess? What will be the approach? Well, I don't think I should say the strategy to the opponents. So, otherwise, they will know what to expect. All right, so you're keeping it a secret. I guess we're going to go to find out it tomorrow. What about you, Pia? How are you going to deal with the next two rounds? Do you think tomorrow is the moment that, having all whites, the girls will have to go all in or you don't want to disclose that one either? Yeah, I will speak with the girls. But, of course, we have 20 games left to play, minus five is a big score for the boys. But we will have to fight, we have to try, of course. And yeah, we'll try to do our best. So, absolutely. Sure. Well, thank you very much. I definitely hope to see great games in the remaining two rounds. And we will be back with the action tomorrow, same time, same place at 3 p.m. So, make sure to follow us. And it's going to be an exciting battle. All right. See you, see you tomorrow. Thank you, have a good night. Thank you.
