Sometimes when you face a stronger opponent in a tournament, and you lose a major piece because of a mistake, it may be time to play more carefully and try to force a draw, to minimize the fall in your ranking.

Move 11: maybe black could play c8+4, pretecting the cannon and developing the left side.
Move 15: to avoid losing the horse, maybe the only move black could play is r3=8, although his position will still be bad. It seems black's poor opening is the main cause for his loss. He launched the attack from the right side too early while forgetting to develop his left side first. Move 11 c2=3 is the turning point. Black goes down after this move. |

Whenever I replay this game, I am amazed at Yu Youhua's ability to detect weak moves made by his opponent. Look at move #12 by Chiu Yu Kuen. Immediately, Yu Youhua calculates that the Blue knight cannot go forward beyond here, because there are two Red pawns ready to press on the knight, if
Blue were to try and push the knight further. So Red takes advantage of the situation and uses the Blue knight to force the two chariots to exchange. The beauty of this exchange is that Blue will have nothing left on row 9 to defend his weak left side. Red then brings in the remaining chariot, starting with move #15, to create chaos. |
