I'm a nervous wreck. Who would think a Ruy would still hold such games after
all its time on the planet? She's winning, she's not winning, she's losing,
it's unclear, she's winning -- she won!

What a game! This was Round 3 in the Essent tourney. She leads the tourney
by a full point.

The Ruy is an inexhaustible source of great games and great ideas..I
love playing it with White or Black!! warm regards, GreyHipster

Sokolov probably did have an advantage, but Judit was able to
deminstrate her fighting spirit, her ability to take advantage of
opportunities that presented themselves, and her talent for finding
tactical shots that Sokolov could not anticipate.

Her game aginat Karpov was a shocking crush, complete with an h7
sacrifice.
Obviously, as Judit is a full point ahead of Aronin, with 3 rounds
left, she is in the driver's seat to win the event. At this rate,
she'll also gain a few ratings points, perhaps enough to boost her
into the Top Ten.

According to Fide's website she is currently tied for 10th in the
world with Leko, one point behind Svidler.

I put the game into Chessmaster and watched it again. Some of her problems,
if that's what they were, arose from her aggressiveness. She goes for an
attack against a strong player even though the attack is anything but
certain to work out in her favor. She's a very gutsy chess player.
