White was steadily outplayed in a Sicilian Defence, when she passively moved her pieces around with no real plan. Black is the top seeded player in the tournament and gave a text-book demonstration of how Black should attack on the queenside once White has castled there. After Black gained the advantage of two bishops for two knights there was no way for White to ward off the attack.
A nice touch was Black's 25th move, 25...cxd2 - if White captures the Black queen the pawn on d2 promotes with check.
