Women's World Championship: Tan Zhongyi wins game six

by Marco Baldauf
5/12/2018 – The first five games of the Women's World Championship between reigning world champion Tan Zhongyi and challenger Ju Wenjun were played in Shanghai, Ju's hometown, the second five are played in Chongqing, Tan's hometown. After five games Ju led with 3½-1½ but in game six Tan hit back and shortened the lead to 3½-2½ with four games to go. | Photo: Gu Xiaobing

Hometown advantage?

Western chess fans have probably heard more about Shanghai than about Chongqing but with 7.7 million inhabitants Chongqing is one of the biggest cities in China. And playing on homeground seemed to have inspired Tan Zhongyi. Trailing by two points she needs at least two wins from the last five games - and with an energetic performance she won game six with Black.
