There is an excellent article about Vera Menchik at Wikipedia site.

Tan missed a win combining threats to the queen, rook and finally knight with a clear sequence of 28. Rc1 Be8 29. d6 c6 30. Bc2 Qd5 31. Qd5 cd5 32. ba5 ba5 33. f5 and the knight on g6 is trapped. If you are claiming a legitimate challenge to the world title, you have to see that. Ju Wenjun would have seen it, I believe.

I'm well aware of the rule which I agree with. It's just that I mistakenly assumed it was a short match knockout in this event like the Grand Prix.
If it had been short matches then I would have preferred them to meet later - if both successful! :)

@Keith Homeyard: I think it is the rule that sisters always must play in first round.

My lazy error - I had mistakenly assumed the same format of short matches like the Grand Prix just finished! :)

why a pity, when it is the rule that players from the same federation have to face each other in the starting rounds of the candidates tournament?

I feel compelled to lapse into complete and unabashed subjectivity: The video was painful - the music must play 24/7 in Hell, and the manic, St Vitus Day "dancing" was violent and disturbing AND derivative. Kazans 'n the Hood ?!
The strenuous efforts to make chess relevant and trendy is needless and absurd.

Vera Menchik just rolled in her grave about this "talent" show purportedly conceived to celebrate women's chess.

What next ? For God's sake, show some class and measured restraint. Genuine talent wouldn't hurt either .

Pity seeing the Muzychuk sisters paired against each other 1st round.
