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.
