I drew the second game as well, so playing tie-breaks today! They will be broadcasted live at the usual time.
The game was very tough, she has a strong pressure for a while, but i managed to neutralize it and then she started moving the pieces around with no plan and later we agreed to a draw.
Here is a selection of photos from 2nd round –
I drew in 58 moves. The game was very interesting and tough. Had a couple of improvements but not something serious. Generally we played very many good and sometimes best moves, so a draw was an obvious result. In the end we agreed on a draw because it was too risky to try to win with 59.Kd3 as after Rxg2 she would have had two “f” passed pawns.
Today I am playing Black.
