New Delhi GP is poised for an exciting finish

by Shahid Ahmed - 05/04/2023

GM Aleksandra Goryachkina made a quick 14-move draw with IM Polina Shuvalova. GM Harika Dronavalli also split the point against GM Kateryna Lagno. It is a well-known theoretical draw in the Berlin which has been played over a dozen times in the past three years. GM Koneru Humpy had a well contested draw against GM Nino Batsiashvili. The Georgian made a very nice knight sacrifice in the endgame to secure the half point. IM Vaishali suffered her fourth loss of the event. The sole win of the round scored by WGM Zhu Jiner put her back in the lead with Goryachkina and Bibisara at 6.5/10 each. Goryachkina, Bibisara or Jiner - who will win the GP?

Goryachkina, Bibisara and Jiner at 6.5/10

The final round of the event will witness five - the highest number of games in a single round. It will be IM Bibisara vs GM Kateryna, GM Nino vs WGM Jiner and GM Goryachkina vs GM Humpy. Humpy has a good opportunity to spoil Goryachkina's event if she manages to beat her.

Position after 38...Nxg2!
