Harika - Dinara, Match #2
IM Dinara Saduakassova (KAZ, 2441) couldn't get out of the gate against GM Harika Dronavalli (2447). She went wrong early in the opening 12...Nc5. After 13.Bb5+ it was over for Black. 13...Bc6 14.Bxc6+ Nxc6 15.Rd1 Qc8 16.e5 Ne7 17.Nb5 Nf5 18.g4 a6 19.gxf5 axb5 20.f6 gxf6 21.Rxh7 Ke7 22.exf6+ Kxf6 23.Qd2 Rg8 24.Qf4+ and White checkmates in the next move.
Harika - Zhansaya, Match #3
29...Rf8 would have been fine for Black. However, GM Zhansaya Abdumalik (KAZ, 2454) erred 29...Qf6 allowing 30.Rxc4! Black obviously cannot take on c4 as Qxc4+ costs her material. 30...Rad8 31.Bxe5 Qe6 32.Rc6?! instead 32.Rc7 would have been a better way to maintain the pressure and decisive advantage. 32.Rc6 allowed Black to equalize Rd1. White could not regain her advantage and the game ended in a draw. The outcome of the match did not affect as Kazakhstan lost to the World 3-5.
