For the record, here is what CM has to say about Jinx's playing style: Jinx is a strong player, but she tends to neglect the mobility of her own pieces, controlling the center, and her own pawn structure. To give my own impression of her personality settings, she is a bit of a defender, has a pretty high contempt for draw (a setting which can easily be taken advantage of by a strong player), and pretty much plays "anti-positional" chess (meaning that most of her positional-based settings are much closer to zero than the default). As for the game, pretty typical closed play, although Jinx should probably have mixed things up a bit with 15...f6. And 27...Be8 was almost certainly better than Bb7. Things start to go downhill pretty quickly after that. Good game! jm
