European Women's Chess Championship 2011(06-05-2011/19-05-2011)

3,5 out of 4, I made a draw in a very drawish round!

I played a draw against Bela Khotenashvili today. In the complicated position, which arrived after the opening, both didn't want to be too risky and we decided for a draw after repetition.

That brings me to the remarkable part of this round, especially on the topboards! Draw, draw, draw and another draw. On the first 12 boards only Viktorija Cmilyte managed to win against Nadezhda Kosintseva to keep her perfect score and Anastasia Bodnaruk won against Sopiko Guramishvili, to join me and Bela Khotenashvili in the 2nd place with 3,5/4.

Tomorrow in round 5, I have to play against the leader Viktorija Cmilyte (2504) from Lithuania, with the white pieces.The other pairings of round 5 you can see here.
