Ushenina lost the 3rd game with White yesterday and needs not to lose in the next game in order for the match to continue as the challenger is 3 points ahead. Hou Yifan was again better prepared and White spent a lot of time on finding good moves but still found herself without advantage after the opening, then got into time pressure and lost on time in a bad position.
