Anna Zatonskih
The tie-breaks were an interesting affair for the audience, but only if one considers the clocks, the psychology, the nerves, etc. - All of the peripherals of a chess game – BUT – the chess itself? – Sorry – but there were massive blunders, oversights, miscalculations, flip-flops, and changes in the sporting results of the games. Anna won the first game; Tatev won the second game. The third and final game was an Armageddon game where White (Tatev) had more time, but Black (Anna) had draw odds – meaning that if the game were drawn (and it was) then Black wins.
