I’m so used to puzzle answers being something flashy — an exchange, a sacrifice, a tactic. Finding quiet moves, such as Kg2 in the final puzzle, will surely level up one’s game.

Super excited for this match. May the best chess queen win!

I know!! I'd feel like a big hero seeing Kg2 far in advance!

My prediction: Ju Wenjun retains her title. She's surely on a short list of the greatest female players of all time. Her championship matches have all been close, but that's demonstrated her nerves of steel.
