Ju Wenjun maintains her full point lead
Game 11 of FIDE Women's World Championship Match 2020 was the quickest game of the event as the game lasted less than two hours. Goryachkina repeated playing Berlin Defence in Ruy Lopez just like Game 2 and 6. Pieces got exchanged at regular intervals and after 25 moves, the game reached to a opposite color bishop endgame where draw seemed the obvious result. The score is now 6.0-5.0, while the champion Ju Wenjun just needs a draw in Game 12 to retain her World title, Challenger Goryachkina is in a must-win situation to force tie-breaks.
Just like Game 2 and 6, Game 11 also witnessed Berlin Defence, but this time it was a different variation with the same result.
Game 12 will take place on January 23 at 3:30 p.m. local time, 11:00 a.m. IST. If Goryachkina wins it then tie-breaks will take place on 24th January.
