Game of the Day!

Game 3 of FIDE Women's World Championship Match 2020 ended in a hard fought draw

In a QGD Semi-Tarrasch variation, Goryachkina kept pushing for advantage and eventually got an extra pawn using tactics which was difficult for her to maintain in a Queen and Double Rook endgame as Ju defended perfectly. It liquidated into an equal Rook ending with Goryachkina regaining an extra pawn, but it was not enough to score a full point.

Ultimately a draw was agreed after 85 moves of long battle spanning almost four hours.

Game 4 will be played tomorrow

This chess piece dated c. 1200 was found in 2018 in Tønsberg by the Norwegian Institute of Cultural Heritage Research (NIKU).

The abstract design is typical of arabic pieces, with geometric motifs in different parts. It's a Knight.
