Kosteniuk in World Women's chess finals
Alexandra Kosteniuk reached the world women's chess finals for the second time in her career. She awaits the winner of the Humpy - Yifan match. Yifan was very close to making it to the finals but for a huge blunder in an equal position. It was a mate in ten after taking a pawn and leaving her kingside open to attack. The match is now tied at 1-1 and the players battle it over rapid, blitz, and sudden death or Armageddon games. Yifan and Humpy have shown brilliant form in this tournament except for a few slips in the last couple of rounds.
