Well, no wonder. It was a contest between Chinese female players; after all, about the same <em>attentively<\/em> the Chinese public followed the almost endless tournament in the game called freestyle, which was hosted in Paris at the same time. The match was supposed to consist of 12 games, but this time the world champion Ju Wenjun set such a pace that it ended after just the 9th game. I certainly would not have paid so much attention to the match for the women's chess crown if it were not for the high technique in the endgames that Ju Wenjun demonstrated (with only one exception). The world champion, who has reigned since 2018, is slowly becoming the Magnus of the women's game.

A truly rare guest in matches for the chess crown!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is no coincidence that many people \u2013 even those who were almost lifelong staunch atheists \u2013 gradually become wiser and begin to notice phenomena and connections that previously completely escaped them.

So I notice what seem to me to be only apparently random phenomena.<\/p>\n<p>Let us return, however, to the short match for the chess crown: the endgames of the seventh and eighth games seem to want to fit additionally into my works, which I published on the relationship between Bishop and Knight on the chess school website in two parts in February and May 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the performance of the world champion in both endgames not only became the driving force behind this contribution, but also prompted me to take a closer look at Ju Wenjun's play. In the examples, which ended with the Bishop vs. Knight score at 1-1 \ud83d\ude42, we can once again verify the validity of the rule formulated in my works. <em>3xBest<\/em>. I remind you that this serves us to better assess positions in which these two different pieces encounter each other!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skolasachu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lepsi-J-lepsi-S-3xNej.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3085\" src=\"https:\/\/skolasachu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lepsi-J-lepsi-S-3xNej-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"662\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skolasachu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lepsi-J-lepsi-S-3xNej-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skolasachu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lepsi-J-lepsi-S-3xNej-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/skolasachu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lepsi-J-lepsi-S-3xNej-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/skolasachu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lepsi-J-lepsi-S-3xNej-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/skolasachu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lepsi-J-lepsi-S-3xNej.jpg 1552w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The position on the left diagram, which arose in the 7th game, leaves no doubt about the total superiority of the Knight over the unfortunate Bishop. I remind you that this situation is called dominance! To achieve such a state of total Knight superiority, we always need the help of another piece that can challenge the long-range Bishop. <em>perfectly lull to sleep<\/em>! When I saw this position, I of course remembered Aron Nimzowitsch, but above all I recall how long (and in vain) I once searched for a suitable position of Knight dominance from a practical game while creating my training materials. Back then it all ended with me simply having to resort to a diagram. Practical examples just would not satisfy me.<\/p>\n<p>The position of the second diagram appeared in the 8th game, which also became the highlight of the entire match! According to the rule <em>3xBest<\/em> the Bishop is the stronger piece here, dominating the short-legged Knight.
