Do you understand what Wesley So had in mind with 21. Ra1?


Do top level GM's in tournaments like this have preferences about the size, style of chess pieces and board or do they not care? #askshamkir


If MC wins today for the second time with black pieces, how hard will it be for others to overtake him to win the tournament? #askshamkir


What about black playing queen to g7, then h7 aiming for either h3 or d4? #worldwomenchess


If Natalija pulls out the win today, how will the players psyches be affected for the tie breaks, especially Mariya's? #worldwomenchess


If Pogonina loses this match will it negatively effect her future play or will she see it as a victory to have made finals? #worldwomenchess


@PDrigans: Who is on the short list of greatest women chess champions in the last 50 years? #worldwomenchess


Fischer, Kasparov and Carlson might be on a short list of greatest men's chess players. Who is on the women's short list?


What opportunities exist to improve the business model to fund women's professional chess via corporate and other sponsors? #worldwomenchess


As commentators, what is on your "wish list" for further improvements in chess coverage to popularize the game globally? #worldwomenchess


Do you expect that Hou Yifan will now focus the majority of her energy playing in men's super GM tournaments? #worldwomenchess


If Mariya wins the match, what future course does she take to further improve her skills and playing strength? Play men? #worldwomenchess


Is there any aspect of Russia vs Ukraine nationalism in this match? Do you think Vladimir Putin rooting for Pogonina? #worldwomenchess


Should top level players wear sponsor logos all over their clothes during chess matches like race car drivers or golfers? #worldwomenchess


Will Hou Yifan be extra motivated to destroy the winner of this FIDE women's championship match later this year?> #worldwomenchess
