{The game was roughly equal until Zhu Chen comitted the strange decision of
placing her knight on b8, away from the action. Danielian pounced and
established her own knight on e5, having a powerful steed that was also
locking her opponent's out of the game. Black's position collapsed
surprisingly quickly after that.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. e3 b6 4. Bd3 Bb7 5.

the Sankt Petersburg open, which had not gone too well for him. After the game,

{Humpy obtained the better chances when she won the two rooks for a queen.
White's activity wasn't quite there to compensate the material deficit.
However the Indian player slowly lost her way and in time trouble she
blundered horribly, giving the Mongolian player an important round one victory.
