This was the Chinese team facing the US at the 2004 Olympiad. L to R: Zhao, Xue, Xu, Yuhua and Xie, Jun
Galliamova, Alisa (RUS) 0-1 Xu, Yuhua (CHN) View
Xu won a very difficult Queen and Pawn endgame in 64 moves with the Black pieces. There were two Pawn races with Black coming out on top in the second one. This is a devastating blow for Galliamova losing with White in the first game. Now, she has to compose herself to defend with Black tomorrow. Otherwise, the match will be basically over.

Logical Chess by Chernev is good. I also solving a lot of puzzles and working on endgame.

Game 2
WGM Xu_Yuhua – IM Galliamova 1/2
Galliamova dug in her heels and held on as black. nice game. Maybe she has a chance yet. if she can win one and draw the other it will be a draw. some hope still left. but I still think Xu_Yuhua will win this. I was glad to see the draw today. it makes the match more interesting.

none of this stuff works. it is super easy to post a url. never type in the url. it might have a typo. always bring up a separate window and copy and paste the url from what works into the place where you want it written. nothing could be easier and that way the posted url always works for everyone because it was copy and pasted from a working window url address.
