Women's Premier 02: Favourites have a ball
The second round saw the favourites dominating the games. While Bala Kanamma made good her winning start by holding Kiran Manisha Mohanty, Mary Ann Gomes and Nisha Mohota settled for their second consecutive draw, this time against each other. The remaining higher seeds had a ball defeating their opponents. For ChessBase's new analyst — 12-year-old Nihal Sarin — the game played by Viji from the white side was interesting and he has analysed it for you.
Women's Premier 02: Favourites have a ball
