11th Report135–141: Li Xuanhao is also a married man. In May 2024, right after securing his first significant championship title, he disclosed that he had finalized his marriage in February of that year. During an interview, he mentioned that his wife’s birthday was coming up and he wished to present his triumph as a gift for her special day.

Move 135 was yet another poor move. As per the reference, he ought to have temporarily swapped moves 1 and 2 to deal with the two points under attack, then gained practical advantages through moves 3 and 5. Under the adverse conditions, this was essential to maintain a slim opportunity to compete in the endgame.

Move 136 was well played. In this game, Li Xuanhao, who wasn’t under time constraints, spent more than 15 minutes on move 138—his most extended thinking period. Maybe he overanalyzed. A straightforward move such as reference 2 would have been more effective. It appears he recognized his advantage and played in a solid manner. Move 140 couldn’t be ignored, and move 141 is a point to ensure tangible gains.
