Salimova, playing with white pieces, got a big advantage, but couldn’t keep it in time. In the return match, which will begin in the near future, Goryachkina will play with white pieces.
Previously, the first two games of the final, which were played on August 19 and 20 in classic time control, ended in a draw.
It should be noted that at the first Women’s Chess World Cup, which was held in 2021, Alexandra Goryachkina took second place. In the final, she lost to Alexandra Kosteniuk, an ex-Russian who now represents Switzerland.
