Ju Wenjun comfortably drew the 10th and final game to take the Women's World Championship title from her countrywoman Tan Zhongyi, and is guaranteed to wear the crown for all of...six months. Congrats to her all the same; she is a deserving title-holder (she's the second-ranked woman in the world, behind only Hou Yifan, who no longer participates in women's world championship events) who has also made a number of important contributions to opening theory. More on game 10, here.
Congratulations are also in order for Sam Shankland, who went an undefeated +1 in the last three rounds of the Capablanca Memorial to finish with an impressive +5 score (7.5/10). His rating at the end of the month will be 2717, good for 30th in the world. Well done!
