Women’s Candidates: Lei and Humpy win with white

Day 1 of the Women’s Candidates saw two decisive games (out of two), as Lei Tingjie and Humpy Koneru defeated Mariya and Anna Muzychuk respectively, both with the white pieces. Matches are played to the best of four, so the Muzychuk sisters have plenty of time to bounce back. Humpy’s victory was a nice 24-mover. | Photo: Michal Walusza
