Cmilyte and Koneru had a theoretical discussion in a well-known variation of the Nimzo-Indian. The endgame that was pretty much forced out of the opening for both sides looked better for White, but the leader of the tournament was very accurate in her defense and the players reached a peaceful end without any adventures. 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Qc2 0-0 5.Nf3 c5 6.dxc5 Na6 7.g3 Nxc5 8.Bg2 Nce4 9.0-0 Nxc3 10.bxc3 Be7 11.e4 d6 12.e5 dxe5 13.Nxe5 Qc7 14.Qe2 Bd6 15.Bf4 Ne8 16.c5 Qxc5 17.c4 Rb8 18.Rab1 f6 19.Nd3 Qc7 20.c5 Bxf4 21.Nxf4 Qxc5 22.Nxe6 Qe7 23.Rfe1 Bxe6 24.Qxe6+ Qxe6 25.Rxe6 Rf7 26.Ra6 bxa6 27.Rxb8 Re7 28.Bf1 g5 29.Bxa6 Kg7 30.Kg2 Nd6 31.Bd3 Rc7 32.Ra8 Nf7 33.a4 Ne5 34.Be4 h6 35.a5 Nd7 36.Bd5 f5 37.Rg8+ Kf6 38.Re8 Nc5 39.Bc4 Rc6 40.h4 gxh4 41.gxh4 Ne4 42.Bd3 Rd6 43.Bxe4 fxe4 44.Rxe4 Rd5 45.Ra4 a6 46.Kg3 Rb5 47.Kg4 Kg6 48.f3 Rc5 49.Kg3 Kf6 50.Kg4 Kg6 51.Kg3 Kf6 52.Kg4 Kg6 ½–½
