by Shahid Ahmed - 24/08/2024

FIDE Tbilisi GP 2024 is poised for an exciting finish. IM Alina Kashinskaya (POL) defeated IM Lela Javakhishvili (GEO) to join the lead with IM Bibisara Assaubayeva (KAZ). Both are at 5/8 each. Bibisara had her chances against IM Stavroula Tsolakidou (GRE). However, the Greece no.1 woman managed to draw in a complex battle. The highest rated player in the field, GM Anna Muzychuk (UKR) scored her first win of the tournament. She defeated IM Sarasadat Khademalsharieh (ESP) after she ignored her back rank issues. GM Vaishali R defeated the in-form GM Nana Dzagnidze (GEO). Final round starts today at 1 p.m. local time, 2:30 p.m. IST. Photo: FIDE/Anna Shtourman
