Women's World Championship: Game 4
The ten-game-match between Tan Zhongyi and Ju Wenjun is played in Shanghai and in Chongquing, the home towns of the two players. The first five games are played in Shanghai, where Ju was born, the second half of the match is played in Chongquing, Tan's native city. At the beginning of the match Ju indeed seemed to have home advantage and after three games led 2½-½ but in game four Tan scored her first win to stay in the match.
Tan played with White and opted for a Trompowsky which turned into a Torre Attack. Objectively, Tan did not get much out of the opening but after an inaccuracy Ju suddenly had serious problems on the kingside and a few moves later went down in an attack.

puts her knight to e5, strengthens it with f4 and tries to whip up an attack
on the kingside.Bb713.f4Ne414.Rad1Bd615.Qg4f516.Qh3White has
some initiative and might continue with moves such as g4 or Ndf4-h4 but if
Black is careful this should not be too dangerous.Bxe517.fxe5Qe718.Qh5Kh7An interesting option was18...Bc6!?with the idea19.Rf3?Ba420.b3Be8-+: the white queen is threatened, White has no serious attack

Tap into your creative mind and start the game on a fresh note. The Trompowsky (1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5) is an opening outside of conventional wisdom. Create challenges and make your opponent solve problems early on.
