When Linna met Yinchuan

When Yinchuan met Linna, (or Linna met Yinchuan, lady first)

In the second round of the Worldmindmasters' Finals, played yesterday in Beijing, the Men's World Champion met the Women's World Champion, a rare occurrence in the long history of Xiangqi.

Grandmaster Xu Yinchuan beat Grandmaster Wang Linna 2-0. Ms Wang gracefully accepted defeat and indicated she learned a few things from the encounter.
