Women's World Championship: Round 2, Day 1
Tuesday, December 7, 2010 at 9:13PM
There has been a fair amount of discussion in the comments wondering why Nadezhda Kosintseva isn't playing. As things stand, it may soon be a Kosintseva-free event, as Tatiana K. lost with White today against Yelena Dembo, and will be eliminated unless she wins back with the black pieces. That would be a significant upset; smaller upsets today include Viktorija Cmilyte losing with White to Elisabeth Paehtz and ex-champ Maia Chiburdanidze losing to Xue Zhao.
As for the lone American, Anna Zatonskih got off to a good start, beating Marie Sebag with White.

Plus Nakamura has an extra black... ouch! I think this screams for why DRR is better.
