Girls: Alessia-Mihaela - Rakshitta: 0-1
WGM Rakshitta Ravi (2272) had practical chances against WFM Alessia-Mihaela Ciolacu (ROU, 2199) in the bishop and knight vs double bishop and extra pawn.
Position after 52...Bh5
White wanted to restore balance in terms of number of pawns 53.Nxc5?? However, self-pinning the knight only harmed White. 53...Bf3! in one move, Black managed to fix both White's knight and king. 54.Bc2 a5 55.Ba4 Be1? removing the pin did not help Black. She just needed to bring her king to capture the g-pawn as there was no way for White to get out of the pin without losing material or the game.
