 Ivanka, you've beaten Joe Galakha, really important game for your team today. Yeah, and... Tell us all about it. Well, I've been a little bit unlucky, I feel, during this tournament. You know, I've had some good positions, I've been fighting really hard and results just haven't gone my way, so I'm just absolutely ecstatic to have won my game against Joe. It was quite a balanced opening, but something went wrong and suddenly I was allowed to take some chances in a very advantageous endgame. And you got a monster de-pawn, monster de-pass-pawn. Yeah, I did get a monster pass-pawn and even better, I controlled the promotion square with my bishop. So I was feeling really positive then, but a little voice inside of me still went, keep calm, take control, don't mess it up. And you can celebrate after you've won the game, not during the game. Right. Yeah, we're all getting excited as well, watching your game. Oh, really? Because the women need to fight back and make this a close match. Yeah, we do. You know, somehow, you know, I felt like I've been unlucky, but the team itself has also been quite unlucky as well, because we've had really promising positions, but I must hand it to the guys. They have been incredibly resourceful and they've been resilient at the toughest moments and they've just kept fighting. So for us now, it's just every point will count and we're going to go into the last round feeling, just, well, not feeling happy, but just happy that we're here and that we're playing chess. And you've got Antoinette back in the side and she won yesterday. Yeah. She did one again today. Yeah, I know. She's a tremendous asset and at the team meeting yesterday, she said, hey, why are we planning to get four victories tomorrow? Why can't we just get lots and lots of victories? And if we went through our opponents and she just went, yep, no reason why you can't win. So she made us all laugh there. Yeah, and she's full of confidence as well, isn't she? Yeah, she is. I'm very calm. Yeah, yeah. Okay, let's have a look at you again. Yeah. Okay, Joanka, you're playing Jo here and you've just played Night D2, this position, what's happening? Yes, it's a relatively quiet position, but White does have some positional advantages, namely this bishop on G2, which can spring to life and just cause some problems. And here, Jo took a long, long think actually. Maybe he just couldn't decide what to do. I was just expecting Queen takes pawn to be honest, and then the game kind of continues and maybe I'm slightly better because of this bishop, but you know, Black's pieces are very active. There's one point to kind of note that after Night D2, you can't really play C3 because the White comes to C4. So this was a line that the computer pointed out to me this morning. Oh, right. So you were there. Well, I must admit, my preparation wasn't that deep. I mean, it just went, okay, well, just play a game really. And so, yeah, Knight C4 kind of retains the balance. But yeah, he kind of spent a long time and then he played, sorry, pawn takes pawn. Knight takes, it was Knight takes, wasn't it? Yeah, Knight takes. And then Knight takes pawn and he drops the Queen back. And I was quite pleased about my next move, just like Knight D4. Because, okay, the Knight is a little bit vulnerable here on D4, but it does control this. Oops, sorry, I shouldn't listen to myself. Don't just touch pieces randomly. I just wanted to say it does control this light-squared bishop. And yeah, I mean, there was kind of some cool ideas. I don't know whether it works or not, but I mean, it did come into consideration that if he'd gone Rook to here, it might even be a possibility to go Knight takes pawn. That might be too bold and adventurous and creative or whatever, but it was there in the air. But I think things kind of went my, well, I got the upper hand a little bit after Rook B8, Rook B1 and Bishop F5. That was a bit ambitious by Black, wasn't it? Yeah, I think he was just trying to simplify the position because there's a lot of tension. The Queen doesn't have so many squares. Yeah, Bishop D7 is a normal move, that's what I was expecting. I think I was probably going to play Queen A4. That was just one idea that I had. I'm not sure. Put a little bit of pressure on C6, but then he can defend it. Yeah, I mean, this is really what I was expecting, a very simple move like that. But yeah, Bishop F5, I was very pleasantly surprised to see on the board. So yeah, he gave me the Bishop pair. I will take the Bishop pair. Was there another move here? Another move. No, no, sorry. No, I was looking at another position. I thought that was an intermezzo, but I was looking at another position. And here I, I don't know, I was very proud of this move at the time, but I'm not sure I'm so proud of it now. Well, Bishop C3, so the big idea of this move was actually just to kind of release this rook on B1 and also kind of dominate the Queen. Right, yes. That was my positional basis behind it. But the Queen's not going forward, that's for sure. No, she's not. And yeah, and I think here Joe kind of played E6, and then I forced things with Queen D6. And later on, Joe said that maybe he should have just played 98. 98, yeah, because you get a pass. She can't be bad. And what's even better is that I actually, with this Bishop potentially coming to the A5 square, I start to control the Queening square. But yeah, and I think I was very fortunate here. So I've been quite unlucky in some of my other games when my opponents have been incredibly resourceful and I've just been blundering or making tragic mistakes. But here I was very lucky because Joe just had a bit of an off day and he didn't defend in the best way. And he just, he played 94, which is fine actually. And I took, which it takes, yes. And after, yeah, but I think pawn takes is the mistake. I think this is where he has to try his luck in the opposite kind of bishop. But I mean, it's pretty unpleasant because I just, I do take this pawn on C6 and then I get a pass pawn on D7. And he can be forgiven, I think, a little bit for not, wanting to go into this. And yeah. But the other way was worse, wasn't it? Well the other way was, was worse. And Bishop A5 controlling the promotion square. And yeah. And then he just can't quite wiggle his bishop around to do anything about it. No, he can't quite get there in time. You know, he, if you fast forward a few moves. He did try with Bishop D4, but I'm on Bishop C7. And I think in fact you could, you could even swap off the rules there. I was thinking about swapping off the rooks, but I have to say, I was a little bit concerned that maybe he could kind of give up his bishop and go a bit rogue with his rook and just start to win pawns. But I have to fast forward. So I mean, let's fast forward to when he went Bishop E7. Bishop E7. Because that was a nice finishing blow. So he, yeah. Because he's trying to con you here, isn't he? Yeah, he's trying to set up some kind of blockade. And I must admit, I didn't actually even think about playing pawn takes bishop. I was more focused on rook c5 and just kind of keeping the balance. And I was also focusing on just keeping calm, not getting a rush of blood to the head. And whilst I was thinking, I suddenly realized that I could actually take the bishop because I have a very, very neat move to after pawn takes bishop, rook takes. Yeah, this is the whole point. I suddenly realized that this pawn actually has a purpose. It can promote itself to a queen. And, yeah, that was nice. And a nice touch there because the E6. Yeah, it's got to be that way. And you take on E6. Yeah, and sadly the f5 pawn will drop off as will the E4 pawn. Yeah, for like a house of cards. Yeah, and it's nice and simple. Yeah, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Brilliant. Thank you. Well played.
