Chess
Ekaterinburg: Two-time World Cup winner Xu Yuhua of China maintained her full-point lead over Russian Alisa Galliamova with a 49-move draw in the second of the four-game final of the women's World chess championship here. Having lost the first game, Galliamova trails Yuhua 0.5-1.5. Like in the first encounter, the second game also provided fireworks for chess buffs and Galliamova should consider herself lucky to survive Yuhua's onslaught. It was a Sicilian Rossolimo by the Chinese as white and Galliamova was pushed to the wall in the middle game after she lost a pawn. The ensuing exchanges led to a complicated endgame wherein Galliamova found solace in further exchanges and regained the lost ground quickly enough. Further exchanges resulted in a forced transposition to a king and pawns endgame where the balance did not leave any hope for either player. — PTI
