Another fascinating endgame in the FIDE World Cup.
India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ did great at #WomenGrandPrixFIDE in Skolkovo today.

Koneru Humpy beat Alina Kashlinskaya, and Harika Dronavalli defeated Marie Sebag.

The other games of round 3 ended in draws, so Valentina Gunina keeps the lead with 2,5/3.
The Russian duel between Kateryna Lagno and Alexandra Kosteniuk was the first game to finish - by perpetual check, on move 25.
When Pia Cramnling played her first Chess Olympiad with Sweden (Buenos Aires 1978), none of her rivals at the #WomenGrandPrixFIDE had been born yet.

That will give you some perspective about her place in the history of our sport.
