Her position and play was not as bad as mentioned in the thread.
I think her 13.Re1 was dubious, admittedly.
It looks to me that if she went for that line Robbie, then Kramnik would possible master the rooks with knights on c5 and f4.
Its just amazing the way Kramnik helps Hou Yifan to help his own position if you know what I mean, a truly astonishing game.
I think instead of chasing the Queen, black can also try Bxf3 after Qa3 in that line.
For example 1.Qa8 Bb7 2.Qa3 Bxf3 3.gxf3 Nh4 4.Rd1 Qh3
I thought she should have played Nc4 on move 13.

yes its tactically justified as well, amazing play!

Any player close to 2700 that is lost with white around move 15 has at least not played well.

Kramnik simply helped her to play badly, he is a genius.
