I have won vs T.Kosintseva with Black pieces today. The game went in a wild way – at first, I got a promising position after a opened the center up, then I made a couple of mistakes and got myself into a lost position. She could have gained decisive advantage by playing 21.h5 instead of Qe4. Then she did some more mistakes and we got into a R+n vs R+B endgame, where I was still worse (could be losing an isolated pawn) but she decided to win two more pawns (after I have given one for counterplay) and got her Knight out of play on h8. So, I managed to win it and the game.

Tomorrow I am white against her.

I won the tie-break vs IM Munguntuul and so am playing the 2nd round of the world championship tomorrow vs T.Kosintseva!

The 1st game of the tie-break ended in a draw after many fireworks, and the second game was even better!

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.
