Tuesday saw the second day of the women's match between a Kazakhstan selection and a world selection. Eight women - four top players and four juniors - per team play a double Scheveningen match with two days of rapid chess and one day of blitz chess.
On day 1 "The World" took the lead, but day 2 ended with a 16-16 tie.
The best player so far is 16-year-old Alua Nurmanova from Kazakhstan with 7.0/8. With 6.5/8 India's Savitha Shri, who is also 16, is the best player in the world's team.
Nurmanova suffered her only loss in the tournament against Savitha Shri, but was also the only player who could win against the Indian - in an interesting tactical battle.
In the overall standings, "The World" now leads with 34.5: 29.5.
