Paehtz grabs second win
In her game against Elisabeth Paehtz, Nana Dzagnidze lost the thread in a critical phase of the game and played two bad moves in quick succession. Paehtz then had a clear advantage, which she converted into her second victory of the event.
Paehtz now stands in sole second place a full point behind Anna Zatonskih. The tournament leader is set to rest in Saturday’s seventh round, while Paehtz will face Bella Khotenashvili with the black pieces.
