@OnTheQueenside Probably exhaustion is still occupying her after a draining world championship match. She still needs enough rest to come back in dominant form again
@chess24com It's just right to say that she really needs to take enough rest because it's not easy to regain that energy after a very draining tournament. It takes little bit of time to regenerate your mind. And I'm sure that she still felt the exhaustion from the Women's World Championship.
@chess24com Incredible match. But, I really noticed that when Ju just came from a draining tournament like the Women's World Championship, she sometimes got in a bad form for a significant period of time like how she was at the Women's World Cup way back in 2023 right after she defeated lei.
Ju Wenjun's match performance of 2721 will probably be the highest performance of the year! 🤯
Last year, there were no performances over 2700! (The best was 2694, also by Ju Wenjun! 😅)

It's no coincidence Ju Wenjun and Lei Tingjie were able to do this the first year they switch to a knock-out format!
China always dominates the knock-outs. 🥊

(1/4) Ju Wenjun (2561) had to settle for silver in the World Rapid, but not in the blitz! She won the World Blitz Championship to complete the career Triple Crown, now having won World Championships in all three of Classical, Rapid, & Blitz!
