Women’s Candidates: A double-edged Petroff

Following their losses on opening day, the Muzychuk sisters both faced the Petroff Defence on Wednesday. Mariya could not get much of an advantage in her game against Lei Tingjie and ended up signing a 40-move draw. Anna, meanwhile, got in trouble in a sharp struggle against Humpy Koneru, but managed to escape with a draw in the end. | Photo: Michal Walusza
