The second semi-final encounter between Anna Muzychuk and Lei Tingjie was launched by two special guests today: Cedric Biscay, author of the Manga "Blitz", and Stephane Lamotte, Secretary General of the Organizing Committee for the Albert 1st Centenary Commemorations. Since there were two special guests, the move 1.d4 was played twice!
Slow but solid start of the semi-finals
11-02-2022
Anna Muzychuk opted for Gruenfeld Defence, in which the opponents followed a well-known theoretical path.
LEI, TINGJIE - MUZYCHUK, ANNA, 2 ПАРТИЯ, ½ - ½:
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nxc3 6.bxc3 Bg7 7.Be3 c5 8.Nf3 Qa5 9.Qd2 Nc6 10.Rb1 a6 11.Rc1 cxd4 12.cxd4 Qxd2+ 13.Kxd2 e6 14.Bd3 0-0 15.h4 Rd8
White had more space and decided to take the initiative with the move 15.h4, a typical move in the Grunfeld structures, to open the h-file.
16.Rc4 h6
Anna reacted correctly by introducing a sensible novelty 16…h6 to have an option of advancing her g-pawn when the White h-pawn gets to h5.
17.Rb1 Bd7 18.Rb6 Be8 19.e5 Rd5
White's 19.e5 was certainly the critical moment of the game. Lei Tingjie made a committal decision restricting Black's dark-squared bishop but abandoning the pawn control over the d5-square. In her post-game interview, Anna commented that it was a typical idea, and if White managed to get all the space in the center and on the kingside, she would be better. Fortunately for Black, she never was in too much danger.
20.Rc2 Rad8 21.Be4 Rb5
After the timely exchange of rooks with 21…Rb5, Anna solved all the problems and the game logically ended in a threefold repetition on the move 28.
22.Rxb5 axb5 23.Ke2 Bf8 24.Rd2 Na5 25.Rc2 Nc6 26.Rd2 Na5 27.Rc2 Nc6 28.Rd2
0:13:45 - 0:22:36
½ - ½:
