Nicosia GP: Six (out of six) decisive results

The fourth and final stage of the Women’s Grand Prix series kicked off in Cyprus. All six round-1 games finished decisively. The biggest shocker was Dinara Wagner’s victory over Aleksandra Goryachkina — the latter entered the tournament in second place in the series’ overall ranking, only behind Zhu Jiner, who is not playing in Nicosia. Kateryna Lagno, Tan Zhongyi, Nana Dzagnidze, Harika Dronavalli and Gunay Mammadzada also scored full points. | Photo: FIDE / Mark Livshitz
