Athletistic/ Others. Today, August 19, the first match of the World Cup final took place in Baku. Russian chess player Alexandra Goryachkina is tied with Nulgyur Salimova. Sergey Smagin, vice-president of the Russian Chess Federation, spoke about it.

– All events in this game were determined by the opening. Sasha guessed right with him, but for some reason he did not opt ​​for principled prosecution, not taking the second pawn. Maybe she thought the endgame was her element and there she would outplay her opponent, but in reality it turned out to be a failed position, she had to equalize. On the one hand, she drew with confidence, but on the other hand, she could well lose if there was a more enterprising opponent in front, TASS said citing Smagin.
