Which means it's not over yet. Bela Khotenashvili drew with Kateryna Lagno, which meant that each put the other out of contention, as Humpy Koneru's win over tailender Guliskhan Nakhbayeva gave her a point and a half lead over that duo. One member of the tie for second did win, and that's Harika Dronavalli. She beat the next-to-last-place player, Nafisa Muminova, to stay within a point. In the last round Humpy will have Black against Olga Girya, and Harika will have Black against Zhao Xue (a tougher pairing, at least on paper).
