Round 5 of the Tbilisi Women's Grand Prix saw three players grabbing their maiden wins in the single round-robin. Nana Dzagnidze (who beat Alexandra Kosteniuk), Mariya Muzychuk (R Vaishali) and Sara Khadem (Lela Javakhishvili) collected a full point for the first time in the event - in the last round before the rest day.
Khadem, who had only collected ½ point in the previous 4 rounds, reflected:
I was clearly a bit out of shape, so it means a lot that I could win today, and I go to the free day with positive energy.
With their wins on Monday, Dzagnidze and M. Muzychuk joined the leading pack, which also includes Stavroula Tsolakidou and Bibisara Assaubayeva. The co-leaders have 3 points each, while Khadem standing in last place has 1½ points to her name - i.e. it is anybody's tournament with 4 rounds to go.
Improve your pieces - a winning system you need to know
In this course, we will learn how to identify passively placed pieces in any given situation and how to improve their health by bringing them into active squares.
Only one game in round 5 lacked excitement, as the three decisive encounters featured kings escaping direct attacks (not always successfully), while the draw in Tsolakidou v. Kashlinskaya saw the Polish player first defending a strategically inferior position and then missing a big chance to score a win.
Following the rest day, co-leaders Dzagnidze and Assaubayeva will face each other in round 6.
