No rest for the weary - the women in Khanty-Mansiysk battled on for three more grueling days playing a marathon 30 games of blitz . The format was of 3+2 (three minutes plus two second increments) in a double swiss, which means every player played their opponent twice, once with black and once with white.

Kateryna Lagno only scored 17.0/30 in the blitz.
One World Championship per year is enough.
