{Jennifer Yu has been on a tear in 2017. The teenager defeated GM Irina Krush,
IM Nazi Paikidze, and IM Anna Zatonskih en route to a plus one finish in the U.
S. Women's Championship. At the World Junior Championship for Girls, Yu was in
contention for first place up until the final round, when she lost a tough
game against Kazakhstani IM Zhansaya Abdumalik (whom readers should remember
from her success at the 2017 World Open). Bronze medalist Yu's win in the
penultimate round was an impressive display of her bravery and strategic
vision.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 g6 {Yu's repertoire includes a number of

keeps the enemy knights restricted with her central mass.}) 9... Bb7 ({

a knight. Here, however,} 11. Bc2 {is a bit slow, as Black will coordinate and
can then initiate pawn breaks with ...c5 or f5.}) (11. a3 {is a quiet move

opponent.}) 11... Nxb3 12. Qxb3 c5 $1 {[#] Note that this thrust would not be

overextended and compromised, and Black will soon make progress on the

asset. If White is not quick to land a knockout blow, she will be worse.} (
