The day after Divya and Harika played some of the exhausting Tiebreak games, both India No. 2 and No. 4 tried no tricks on the album in their initial clash of the classic format to sign a peace treaty by just 31 strokes. Although Divya missed the chance to take advantage of her introductory advantage with white pieces, BR will be advantageous on Sunday, because she would try to impact with some fine introductory preparations.Divya chose to open Ruy Lopez while Hari decided to defend Morphy. Both players did not make any remarkable movements, the game remained the same from the beginning. The end game of three infantrymen with the wonder knight and Harik Bishop closed without a drama. On Sunday, Divya will have to defend herself with black pieces, with Harika having a slight advantage. Hari said, “I didn’t want to let Wonder get something to get out of opening. I just tried to go with the flow. Of course I got ready, but nothing came forward.”

Which player’s strategy impressed you most in their opening game?
The most experienced India GM and World No. 5 Humpy took advantage of her introductory advantage with white pieces to get a better of 19-year-old Chinese im yuxin songs in a fun 53-taky English opening game. The Chinese young man surprised Humpy in the middle game with several remarkable movements on the 11th and 16th corners. Humpy remained folded all the time and used the most of the 18th pull of the song toys on the wrong side to stand up slightly. Humpy went on the 22nd turn, but he had to sacrifice the same thing on the next turn after a probable song attack with her bishop and queen. With another 10 moves, Humpy took control of driving by going two pawns up and using his knight. After changing Queens in the 36th, Humpy enjoyed his upper hand with a knight, a rook and two other infantry, while the song had a tower and a bishop. When Humpy began to advance to pawns with a well -placed tower, the song resigned to the 53.Formerly the Chinese highest seed Lei Tingjie surpassed the Georgian Nana Dzagnidz in the English opening game in 40 movements to join Humpy. Vaisali was the last one that ended. Although it did not use its initial advantage with white pieces, it gained a successful draw against the Chinese tan of a higher rating.
