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.

Re: 2018 Women's World Championship
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.

Re: 2018 Women's World Championship
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!JustinHorton wrote: ↑Wed Nov 14, 2018 1:56 pmThere's more than that though. She was able to reach the fiftieth move - but didn't realise!
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.
