The final armageddon tiebreak game of her first round match against Monika Soćko ended in controversy. Foisor only needed a draw to advance to the next round, and reached a drawn ending with each player having only a king and a knight. Although Foisor ran out of time, the arbiter initially ruled that the game was a draw. Soćko appealed, pointing out that what matters is not whether checkmate can be ''forced'', but rather if it is ''possible''. Soćko won the appeal and advanced to the next round, eliminateing Foisor from the event.〔(Armageddon drama in Nalchik ) World Women's Chess Championship report, (ChessBase News )〕〔(Women’s World Championship Whittles Field to 16 ) ''Dylan Loeb'', The New York Times Chess Blog.〕 In 2007 she jointly won the Villard-de-Lans open in France.〔(4th Villard de Lans Open ) FIDE Tournament Report, (www.fide.com )〕 In 2008 she jointly won the Liege Masters tournament in Belgium.〔(Liege Chess Masters ) FIDE Tournament Report, (www.fide.com )〕 Foisor moved to the US in 2008 to study at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and has participated in each of the past five U.S. Women's Chess Championships (2009-2013).〔(Sabina Foisor ) Player Biography, (www.uschesschamps.com )〕 She has represented the United States in three Chess Olympiads, in Khanty-Mansiysk 2010, Istanbul 2012 and Tromsø 2014.〔(Sabina-Francesca Foisor ) Chess Olympiad results, (www.olimpbase.org )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sabina-Francesca Foisor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
