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.

All players have already arrived but are staying in two different hotels I believe as I haven’t seen all of them yet. We will all gather in less than one hour for the players meeting and the opening ceremony is at 5 pm (in less than 3 hours).

Here is the first portion of photos. Hopefully more will be uploaded later, after the opening ceremony!
