After Pool B of the Women’s Candidates Tournament came to an end in Khiva, only Chinese players remain in competition at the World Championship cycle. Tan Zhongyi, the winner in Uzbekistan, will face Lei Tingjie, winner of Pool A, to decide who will face Ju Wenjun, the reigning world champion. The final of the Candidates between Tan and Lei is scheduled to take place early next year, while the World Championship match between the winner and Ju is supposed to be played during the summer.
In Saturday’s game, Aleksandra Goryachkina found herself in a clearly inferior position following a tactical error in the late opening phase, but was later able to all but restore the balance after her opponent played an inaccurate move.
But a well-known situation decided the game later on: after a tense, quite successful defence, another mistake followed!
Tan Zhongyi has done it! By converting her extra piece, she has managed to break the draw streak and win the pool B semifinal!
