Who will win 2010 Women's World Chess Championship?
Ruan strikes back! Tiebreaks ahead
It seemed like Hou Yifan's victory was in the cards. Her early blow in the second game taking a 1.5-0.5 lead seemed decisive, and though Lufei Ruan obtained a significant edge in the third game, it ended in a draw. In the last, Ruan needed a win at all costs to force a tiebreak, and Ms. Nerves of Steel did it again and pulled off the victory!
This victory has set the stage for a very tense tiebreak where one can no longer speak of edges or favorites. In fact the momentum is with Lufei, with her incredible tie-break record, and having struck the last blow. If anything, she will play with a slight psychological edge if anything.

Please note that the organizers announced a last-minute change in the schedule, and the tiebreaks will be held three hours earlier than originally announced, and the games will start at 12 PM local time (11 AM Paris / 5 AM New York).
