Nice to hear from you queen. Great play. Next time, at the world cup, don't be afraid of your own calculations ;)

[@ChessQueen]

Sounds as a nice plan! :)

[@jimhenderson6440]

The endgame against Dronavalli is amazing. I can't think of any other game where a bishop dominated a rook like that.

[@ChessQueen]

yes, I enjoyed it too very much :)
