The diagrammed position — a basically theoretical one — was reached in the crucial fourth tie-breaker game between Koneru and Muzychuk. After three tense draws, Indian Grandmaster was the first to succumb to a nervous breakdown, tragically blundering a piece:
16. Bd2?? Bxd4 17. exd4 Qxe2 0 : 1.
16. Bd2?? Bxd4 17. exd4 Qxe2 0 : 1.
It took four tie-breaker games, but in the end it is Muzychuk to move onto the semifinal against 雷挺婕 (Léi Tǐngjié). Photo: Michał Walusza/FIDE. |
