The second games of the first round were played in Tehran on February 12.
Sixth players, including Ju Wenjun (China), Anna Muzychuk (Ukraine), Alexandra Kosteniuk (Russia), Antoaneta Stefanova (Bulgaria), Nino Batsiashvili (Georgia) and Valentina Gunina (Russia)won their matches with a 2-0 score.
One of the most surprising results for those, who compare the ratings of opponents, happened in the Dronavalli-Shamima match. Harika, whose rating is more than 400 points higher than her opponents’, didn’t manage to outplay Shamima and the fate of the match will be decided on tie-break.
World Youth Champion under 20 of 2015 Natalia Buksa from Ukarine made the second draw against experienced and higher rated player Hoang Thanh Trang from Netherlands.
The Georgian Nana Dzagnidze managed to equalize the score after her first round loss to Mona Khaled (Egypt). Also Katerina Atalik from Turkey defeated Salome Melia from Georgia and tied the score 1-1.
Iranian player Sarasadat Khademalsharieh leveled the score in the match against Sopiko Guramishvili, while her compatriot Mitra Hejazipour, who won the first game against Anastasia Bodnaruk, failed in the second one. Both Iranian players will proceed in the playoff stage tomorrow, while Atousa Pourkashiyan, the third player from Iran, has finished her tournament after her loss from German player Elisabeth Paehtz.
11 matches were not decided after two games in classical control and 22 players will continue to fight at 3 p.m. local time on February 13.
