With 6,5 out of 8 she\nis 1,5 points ahead of Alicja Sliwicka who is in sole second place. Tomorrow\nthe last round starts at 10.30!<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">In a Scotch\nFour Knights Petra Papp and Laura Unuk were following the game between Alicja\nand Marta from round 4. With 11.dxc6 Petra deviated from that game, but there\nwere still plenty of GM-examples. The game remained equal and a draw was agreed\non move 42.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">In a closed\ntype of Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 e5) Trisha as Black was soon doing OK\nagainst Alicja. Two mistakes in the middlegame altered that verdict. First\n24\u2026Rdf7 was a mistake as after 25.f3 the natural retreat of the Black queen was\ncut off. Therefore 24\u2026Qh5 was good when the engine even has a slight preference\nfor Black. 25\u2026Be6? was a much bigger mistake, though. It turns out that the\nBlack queen is trapped after 26.Rf2 Qd3 27.Rd2 Qf5 28.Ne3. Trisha tried\nsomething else to no avail.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">With 5.Bf4\nAnastasia played an interesting sideline against Robin\u2019s Taimanov Sicilian. In\na position with opposite-coloured bishops chances were even until Robin made a\nfew mistakes. Soon Anastasia developed a real initiative. Just when she could\nwrap things up with 29.Rxd6 e5 30.Rxh6+ and White gets too much for the\nexchange, she faltered with 29.Qxd6 Qxc4 and now the worst was over for Robin.\nA draw on move 41 was agreed.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">In an\nAlapin Sicilian Josefine could gave obtained a pleasant edge against Machteld\nwith 10.Nbxd4. Instead she went for the more ambitious 10.cxd4 in view of\nBlack\u2019s somewhat odd piece placement. Machteld managed to coordinate her pieces\nin exemplary fashion and the game was soon dynamically even. After the forcing\n(and correct) 19.g4! Qxh3 20.Ng5 Qh4 the game could have ended in a draw after\n21.Bxh7+ Kh8 22.Kg2 Bc6+ 23.f3 Qxg4+ 24.Kf2 Qh4+ 25.Kg2 with a perpetual. The\nwinning attempt 21.Kg2? Nxe4 22.Rh1 failed to 22\u2026Nxc3 and 23\u2026Bc6+. Now Black\nwas winning until a major hiccup on move 36 which lost Machteld her extra\npiece. She had to start all over but following 44.d5? she won in the end.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">In a French\nDefense Marta as White held the better chances for most of the game against\nMarsel. Winning would have been 35.h4 trapping the Black rook. In the game\nWhite also won the exchange but things were less obvious now. A safe edge was\n39.Rxe6 Bxb2 which leads to an ending where Black has drawing chances but White\nis playing for sure. More or less essential was 46.Kf1, whilst the game\ncontinuation 46.Kg2 led his majesty on a false trail. White could have retraced\nher steps with 48.Kf1 (when a draw was still within reach). Instead 48.Kg3 lost\nto 48\u2026g5! completely cutting off the king. Marsel grabbed her chance an\nexchange down and won the game.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One round before the end Marsel Efroimski has won the tournament.
