Soumya held Georgia no.1 Nana with Black pieces in Sicilian Moscow variation. The former India no.3 managed to thwart Nana's all attempts to stir up trouble, however Nana could have opted for something else than what she played.

Nana - Soumya, Round 4

Nana played 24.e5 which top engine also thinks to be okay. But what else could she have done here?

Round 5

Pratyusha managed to make a quick draw with WGM Shiqun Ni in Sicilian Moscow Variation. However a move before the draw agreement, Shiqun could have taken some chance.

Shiqun - Pratyusha, Round 5

Here Shiqun played 21.Bc1. What else could she have played to keep chances alive?
