Tokhirjonova taking a terrible pasting from Wu today.
She was but seems to have to survived somehow into an ending with chances to hold. I suspect that 26.... Qg4 would have killed off white's counterplay.

Wu's probably not as good as Ju.

Lahno has won 2-0 to advance to the semi-final whilst Mariya Muzychuk has won with black to level in her match. Wenjun Ju is about to win (as I type) to win her match.

Couple of real tragedies there, though at least Abdumalik is still there for the tie-breaks.

Muzychuk (M) v Abdumalik is proving quite the battle royale.

Followed by a draw to send Kosteniuk through and a white loss to keep the latter match going.

Abdumalik blundered on move 132 (Rf1 or Kg8 was necessary) and was mated.
Now she has to win to order in the next game; I guess they will take a break first.

There's more than that though. She was able to reach the fiftieth move - but
didn't realise!

Poor thing! Yes the last capture was at move 86 and mate is not until move 137!
Memo to self: in such situations, always claim a draw before resigning! It cannot hurt.

I dunno if under pressure she didn't realise she had Rf1-f8?

Online SF9 was still showing 0.00 evaluation when mate was forced!
They are at the board now.
10 minute game, Caro-Kann classical with Nh3-f4
