Vaishali dominated Munkhzul

Despite starting the first Quarter-Final game with a loss, Vaishali managed to win the next six games consecutively rendering the last four game just a formality as the outcome of those remaining games wouldn't have changed her fate. Vaishali defeated WIM Turmunk Munkhzul of Mongolia by 7.5-3.5 to secure her place at the Semi-Finals of FIDE chess.com Women's Speed Chess Championship. She will face former Women's World Champion Anna Ushenina at the Semi-Finals on Friday 26th June at 6 p.m. IST.
