Women’s GP Pune: Zhu dodges a bullet, still leads

Despite expectations of a quiet day before the rest break, round six of the Women’s Grand Prix in Pune saw four hard-fought encounters and just one quick draw between Humpy Koneru and Harika Dronavalli. Vaishali Rameshbabu scored her first win of the event, while Nurgyul Salimova stunned Zhu Jiner with a brilliant queen sacrifice – though a win slipped away in time trouble. | Photo: Abhilash Shinde
