The Indian Fide Chess Cup fee remained strong on Sunday, with Humpy Koner to go to the semifinals on a rock move against Yuxin. After winning the first classic game, Humpy needed only half a point to go through-and to make it look like a business as usual.
Humpy’s rival came out with the trends of London’s London settings and hoped to upset the veteran. But the Indian Grand Master was not in the mood. She quickly leveled, giving up several pawns for a dynamic game and returning coldly back to a balanced end game. The song was crushed and inflated for 53 movements, but Humpy never blinked. One point in the bank and the semifinal in the bag.
Elsewhere else, the whole Indian quarterfinals between Darika and Divya Deshmukh played as a well-compared match with the arm-like clear winner in both play. With two draws on the album, Monday’s fast and blitz tiebreakers will now be headed. One of them joins Humpy in Final Four and guarantees India two semi -finalists in Baku.
For r Vaisali, however, the campaign ended with the heart of the heart. She had a chance against the former world champion Tan Zhongyi, especially after a promising middle game. But one slip was all that Tan took to hit. The Chinese Grand Master tightened the screws and Vaisali could not recover in time.
The highest seed of Lei Tingjie also advanced and broadcast in the semifinals on the Georgian Nana Dzagnidz to complete the Chinese two-two.
With three Indians in the neighborhoods and at least two now confirmed in the semifinals, India’s presence at the World Championship continues to increase subtitles. And with candidates that offer for the first three, bets are increasing.
