💢 Ju Wenjun
💢Chinese chess Grandmaster
♦️ Ju Wenjun is a Chinese chess player who holds the FIDE title of Grandmaster. She will compete as challenger in the Women's World Chess Championship 2018.
🔸 Country: China
🔸 Born: 31 January 1991 (age 27) Shanghai, China
🔸 Title: Grandmaster
🔸 FIDE rating: 2572 (January 2018)
🔸 (No. 2 ranked woman in the December 2016 FIDE World Rankings)
🔸 Peak rating: 2604 (March 2017)
♦️At the Chess Olympiad (Women) (2010), Wenjun won individual silver on board 2 and her first GM norm. She won her 2nd GM norm at the 1st Hangzhou Women's GM Tournament (2011), and her 3rd GM norm came with her second place (with 7/11) at the FIDE Women's Grand Prix Nalchik (2011). She produced 3 more GM norms before her application for the grandmaster title was forwarded to FIDE: at the Women Grand Prix Jermuk (2012), the Dubai Open in 2013 and the FIDE Women's Grand Prix Lopota (2014). The date of effect of her title would therefore be 21 October 2011, the final round of the Nalchik event, as she had already reached a rating of 2500 a couple of years previously.

📘 73.Kf7??
Parham has made a blunder in a winning position.
(73.Ne6! +- Now, White's plan for the win:
1- Removing the black pawn.
2- Moving the rook to the 6th rank.
3- Transferring the knight to f6 with maneuver Ng5-h7-f6.
4- Retreating the rook to 7th rank.
And the black king will be caught in a mating net).
73...Ra7 74.R×a7= stalemate.

📘 23.f4?
The white's rush to launch a kingside attack costs him the game.
It would have been better to improve the knight's position to d3 via b2-square.
