The Ukrainian failed to reach the final
Ukrainian chess player Anna Muzychuk lost to a Chinese woman Lei Tingze the fourth game of the semi-finals of the Candidates Tournament.
In the fourth meeting, Anna played with black pieces and lost (0:1.0). The total score of the match is 1.5:2.5. Thus, Tingjie reached the finals of the Candidates Tournament.
Recall that in the 1/4 finals of the Candidates Tournament, Anna defeated Koneru Gumpy (4.5:3.5), and Lei defeated Maria Muzychuk (2.5:1.5).
Ju Wenjun has been the world champion since 2018. The match between Ju Wenjun and the winner of the Candidates Tournament will take place in the summer of 2023.
Lei Tingjie prevails against Anna Muzychuk in the last classical game of their match, wins Pool A of the #FIDEWomenCandidates, and earns the coveted ticket to the final! Congratulations 👏👏
