Day #7

Perhaps, almost nobody doubted that the seventh day will be the last. It was difficult to assume that leading after six sets 50:22 and demonstrating overall strong game, Natalia Sadowska agrees to delay the match. And so it happened, everything has been decided ahead of time! As neither fought Olga Kamyshleeva – today she could only lose.

Olga Kamyshleeva – Natalia Sadowska, 7 set, regular game

7_1

Kamyshleeva tried all moves – from good to bad, but the game still approached to a draw. Not satisfied with it she sparked the crisis. 39.29-23 18×29 40.34×23. The invasion is absolutely reasonable, but further a huge mistake followed. 40…21-27 41.41-37? The delay due to what white become on the verge of defeat. It was necessary to act more actively – 41. 40-34! 13-18 42. 34-30 18×29 43. 30×19 17-22 44. 33×15 22×44 and although the resulting endgame is likely approximately equal, white can try their happiness in it. Anyway they have no risk here, rather if they manage to make two kings, black will become uncomfortable. 41…06-11 42.40-34 11-16! That is the case, now white are not in time to move 43.23-19? 17-21 44.19×30 27-32 45.38×27 21×41 46.33-29 20-24 47.29×20 25×14+. 43.34-29? Still harder 13×24 45.43-39 20-25 46.39-34 17-21 47.37-32 and to win for black is not easy. 43…17-21

Ideal surrounding! 44.37-32 13-19 45.23×14 20×09 46.29×20 25×14 47.28-23 21-26! 48.32×21 16×27 49.33-29 26-31 50.39-34 12-17. Faster led to the wining 50…08-13 51.29-24 31-36 52.34-30 36-41 53.24-19 13×24 54.30×10 09-14 55.10×19 41-47+. 51.29-24 31-36 52.24-19 36-41 53.19×10 09-14 54.10×19 41-47 55.34-30 47×18! 56.19-14 18-04 57.43-38 27-31 58.38-32 17-21 59.32-28

59…21-27? Annoying mistake. Must be played 59… 31-36 60.28-22 04×31 61.14-10 36-41 62.10-04 31-36 63.04-15 41-46 and black get easy wining endgame 60.28-22! Olga gracefully escapes. 60…27×18 61.14-09 04×13 62.30-24 13×30 63.35×24 31-37 64.24-20 37-41 65.20-14 18-22 66.14-10=.

7_4

Despite the close proximity of the conquest of the title, Natalia led the game confidently and in any moment was not worse. 33.40-34 22-28. After this pseudoactive invasion to play for white is quite easily – with every move they are approaching the goal. 34.32×23 19×28 35.33×22 17×28 36.43-38 14-20 37.44-40 20-24 38.29×20 25×14 39.40-35 09-13 40.35-30 15-20 41.49-44 13-19 42.44-40 11-17

43.38-33 28-32? Of course, this is move for losing, but Olga can be understand – it was no difference in this game for her between a draw and a defeat. In other situation she would play 43…17-22 =. 44.37×28 17-21 45.33-29! Preparing exchange 46.28-23 19х28 47.29-24 20х29 48.34х32+-. 45…20-25 46.29-24 26-31 47.24×13 14-19 48.13×24 31-37 49.28-23! 37-41 50.23-18 41-46 51.18-13!

51…46-28? Accelerates events. 52.13-08? Natalia left without attention 52.39-33! (possible and more effectively – immediately to play 52.24-19!х) 52…28х35 53.24-19 35х24 54.19х30 21-27 55.13-09 27-32 56.09-04 32-38 57.04-10+. However, what is the difference, after all, a draw in this game for her amounted to a victory! 52…28×35 53.34-29 25×23 54.08-02 35×19 55.02×24 23-28 56.24-38 21-26 57.38-42 28-32 58.42-29 26-31=. And Polish draughtsplayer becomes unattainable. Bravo, Natalia! Vivat new draughts Queen!
