A draw away from tiebreaks

After the rest day, Aleksandra Goryachkina had the white pieces in the third game of the Women’s Candidates semifinal in Khiva, Uzbekistan.

Following two games with the Queen’s Gambit, a Bogoljubov Defence appeared on the board. Goryachkina chose the variation with 4.Nbd2, but in the further course of the game, she did not gain any advantage. The game ended in a draw on move 45. 

 

If the fourth game on Saturday also ends in a draw, a rapid playoff (and blitz, if necessary) will follow on Sunday.
