Aleksandra Goryachkina and Harika Dronavalli Maintain Leadership at FIDE Women's Grand Prix Leg
In the fifth round of the third leg of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix Series in Lausanne, Nana Dzagdindze defeated Anna Muzychuk as Black, while the games Abdumalik - Kashlinskaya, Stefanova - Kosteniuk, Harika - Goryachkina, M. Muzychuk - Ju Wenjun, and Cramling…
Nana Dzagnidze bounced back after yesterday's defeat due to heavy blunder and beat Anna Muzychuk with Black.
Dzagnidze went through a dubious position in the middlegame, but Muzychuk did not find the precise way to develop her initiative.
