_55EA5_1024x683.jpeg)
WGM-elect WIM Sakshi Chitlange scored a well contested win over WGM Uurtsaikh Uuriintuya (MGL)
Sarayu Velpula - WIM Mounika Akshaya: 1-0
WIM Mahalakshmi M - Rindhiya V: 1-0
Sakshi - Uurtsaikh
Position after 49.Bc6?
WIM Sakshi Chitlange (2175) made a mistake 49.Bc6? Black can just simply take the b5-pawn Bxb5 now Bxb5 runs into Ne4+ and Black is out of danger. Instead, WGM Uurtsaikh Uuriintuya (MGL, 2288) missed this and played 49...h5?? which turned things in White's favor 50.b6 Ba6 51.Kd5 Nc4 52.Bg5+ and White won the game in another ten moves.

IM Elena Sedina (FRA) - WGM Altan-Ulzii Enkhtuul (MGL): 0.5-0.5
Maisuradze - Monnisha
Position after 17.axb5
While 17...Nb3 is the obvious move to fork the rooks and gain an exchange, there was a better move with a similar idea of gaining an exchange. Try to find it.
