Goryachkina takes on Humpy in the final round

The penultimate round of the tournament had only one decisive game and five draws. Goryachkina was held to a draw by Anna Muzychuk; Humpy could not overcome the challenge of Pia Cramling either. They will face each other in the final round to determine the winner.

Anna Muzychuk holds Goryachkina to a draw

In a Gruenfeld Defence, Goryachkina decided to keep her king in the centre and launch an attack on Muzychuk's castled kingside with 11.h4. Anna thought whether to play h5 or allow it. She decided to play in the spirit of the Gruenfeld and continued with 11...♝b7. 

 
Goryachkina - A Muzychuk
Position after 11.h4

The game continued here with 12.e5 cxd4 13.cxd4 ♞c6 14.h5 ♛d5, looking to generate some counterplay.

 
Position after 16.♖c1

Anna was not sure whether 16...♜ad8 was good. She thought maybe 16...♜fd8 was better.

 
Position after 17...♛a5+

Black thought that Goryachkina might play 18.♗d2 ♛a3 19.♖c3, but she didn't like the position she would get. There was also an interesting variation with 18...♞xd4, which she calculated as 19.♗xa5 ♞xf3+ 20.gxf3 ♜xd1+ 21.♖xd1 ♝xf3 22.♗b4 ♝xh1 23.♗xf8 ♝xf8 24.♖d7 a5.

 
Analysis
Position after 24...a5

In the game, Anna went with 18...♞xe5 as she thought this was a safer choice.

 
Position after 18.Kf1

Black also considered 18...♞xd4 19.♘xd4 ♛xe5 20.♖h4 ♝f6 21.♕g4 ♝xh4 22.♕xh4 and felt this is unpleasant for her.

 
Position after 23...♜c8

The game continued for another eleven moves before they reached an opposite-coloured bishops endgame, where no side had any chances left for a win.

Cramling held Humpy to a draw

In the opening, Humpy played quite passively, which gave Cramling an opportunity to gain a huge space advantage. 

 
Cramling - Humpy
Position after 8.b4

Instead of going with 18.♕b3 and exchanging a bunch of pieces which led to an equal drawish endgame, what Cramling could have done was to keep the pieces and look for chances in the centre of the board.

 
Position after 17...♝e6

White could have gone with 18.♘xe4 ♞b6 19.♗b3 ♝xb3+ 20.♕xb3+ d5 21.♗e3, getting ahead in development.

 
Position after 29...♜a4

Humpy felt that after 29...♜a4 she should be better, and she failed to convert the advantage.

Pieces got exchanged at regular interval till move 27. The game arrived at an equal rook and two minor pieces' endgame, and the draw was agreed after the 48th move.
