Second game also a pretty tame draw

Opening ceremony
A long-awaited second pool of the FIDE Women's Candidates has started in Uzbekistan, in the beautiful oasis city of Khiva. In the next two weeks the chess world will have a chance to follow exciting chess battles of leading female players of the globe and find out who will join the winner of pool A, Lei Tingjie, in the big final.
After the speeches, it was time for drawing of colours for each match. Traditionally dressed Uzbek ladies presented the players with beautiful chests with chess queens hidden inside of them - one with the black and other with the white one. Player with the higher rating in each match up had a right to choose first.
Goryachkina, the highest rated player in the event, was the one who picked chest with the black queen inside, thus giving Kosteniuk white pieces in the first round.
In the second match it was Lagno to choose before Tan. Again, the right to choose did not prove very lucky as Lagno chose the box with the black queen.

Re: Women's Candidates matches
Both games drawn; it looks like Goryachkina had chances for more?

Though not necessarily the kind where you look at the computer line and say oh yeah, White was clearly busted

Re: Women's Candidates matches
Two draws again today. Lagno seems to have let slip a sizeable but not winning advantage.

Re: Women's Candidates matches
Zhongyi Tan wins the rapid match 2.5-1.5 to advance to the Candidates final. She won the first game followed by a draw in the second. The third was very dramatic with Lagno seemingly winning from a very early stage before a miscalculation gave white the advantage but still in a very messy position. The game eventually ended in a draw. In the fourth game Lagno tried to convert an extra pawn but black was able to escape.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 4:17 pmI see Goryachkina won game 3 and drew game 4 to qualify

Re: Women's Candidates matches
Two draws so far in the Tan-Goryachkina match, in 98 and 40 moves respectively. The Chinese player has had slightly the better of both games.
