Golubeva,Z. - Hoekman,N. 1-1 26-10-2010
Here ≡ 20.28-22 17x28 21.32x12 8x17 seemed a little safer.
≡ 26x37 21.42x31 20-24! 22.34-30 24-29 23.39-34 29x40 24.45x34 18-22 25.27x18 13x33 26.43-39 15-20 27.39x28 20-24
This is a severe mistake. The right continuation was ≡ 28.32-27, after which the position is in balance. Now black finds an original plan to gain the advantage.
≡ 8-13! 29.27-22 11-16 30.22x11 6x17 31.44-39 24-29! 32.34x23 17-22 33.28x17 19x37
Hoekman has very well estimated that the current situation is favorable for her. In a few moves she launches an attack on the white left wing, while the white pieces on 25, 30 and 35 are powerless against the strong black defense on 4, 9 and 14.
34.39-33 13-18 35.49-43 2-8 36.33-28 8-12! 37.17x8 3x12 38.43-38 12-17 39.38-32 18-22! 40.32x41 22x33 41.48-43 17-22 42.30-24
This move is still winning. However, an easier plan was ≡ 4-10!, to fixate the passive piece on 35. Then white will quickly lose the game.
≡ 43.41-37! 22-27 44.47-42 21-26 45.24-20 27-31 46.35-30 31-36 47.20-15
A logical move, but this spoils the victory for black. After ≡ 9-13! 48.30-24 13-18 49.24-19 14x23 50.25-20 23-29 51.20-14 29-34 black wins easily.
≡ 48.37x26 36-41 49.42-37 41x32 50.26-21 33-38 51.43-39 38-42 52.21-17
Now black can't make a king immediately, and this gives white enough time to promote the piece on 17 without losing any pieces.
32-38 53.17-12 42-47 54.12-7 9-13 55.30-24 13-18 56.7-2 18-22 57.39-34! 22-27 58.24-19 14x23 59.34-29 23x34 60.15-10 4x15 61.25-20 with a draw.
That must have been a big disappointment for Hoekman. Golubeva managed to win the second game of the barrage, and with a draw in the third game she claimed her 12th world title.
