Lei Tingjie advances to the Semifinals
Anna - Humpy, Game 4
30...Qxe6 is how Black could have kept things together. 30...fxe6 was the beginning of the end for Black as her kingside became quite vulnerable.
White made a perfect exchange sacrifice to seize her advantage on the kingside. 35.Rexd4 Bxd4 36.Rxd4 Qa2 37.Rd7 Rxf6 38.exf6 Qa1+ 39.Kh2 Qe5+ 40.Kh3 Black could have tried to get back in the game via Rxf2. However, she missed her chance due to mutual time trouble. Anna went on to win the game and force tie-breaks.
