It was at this tournament that Jessie won the Women&#8217;s World Amateur  Championship and received her Women&#8217;s Fide Master title.<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#0000ff\" style=\"font-size: 13pt\"><em>1. d4 d5<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#0000ff\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-style: italic\">2.  c4 e5<\/p>\n<p>Black chooses an aggressive move to which the normal response is 3 dxe5 d4 4 Nf3  Nc6 when Black has some compensation for the pawn. White prefers a quiet  approach.<\/p>\n<p>3. cxd5 Qxd5<\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#0000ff\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-style: italic\">4.

Much stronger is 6 &#8230; Na6.<\/p>\n<p>7. Nxd6+<\/p>\n<p>White correctly decides to damage Black&#8217;s structure rather than regaining the  pawn.<\/p>\n<p>7 &#8230; cxd6<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#0000ff\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-style: italic\">8.  Bf4 d5<\/p>\n<p>9. Bxb8<\/p>\n<p>A good alternative is 9 Be5 but 9 Nf3 Nc6 10 0-0-0 might lead to complications  after 10 &#8230; Bf5, when White&#8217;s king is not secure.<\/p>\n<p>9 &#8230; Rxb8<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#0000ff\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-style: italic\"> 10.

Ne2 Rfe8<\/p>\n<p>Black&#8217;s plays in altogether too relaxed a style. With his weakness on d5 it is  vital to challenge White&#8217;s initiative hence 13 &#8230; Rfc8 14 Nc3 and now 14 &#8230; b5  is in order, offering material to exploit White&#8217;s lack of development.<\/p>\n<p>14.

Bxd7<\/p>\n<p>Once again, relieving Black of a problem piece, but White&#8217;s clear focus is to  aim as much firepower as possible against Black&#8217;s exposed pawn on d5.<\/p>\n<p>16 &#8230; Rxd7<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#0000ff\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-style: italic\"> 17. 0-0 Rc8<\/p>\n<p>18.
