      Escaping a big one

      Anna Muzychuk, Humpy Koneru, North Urals Cup


      In the final position, Muzychuk inexplicably offered a draw. Black is better and should have gone on with the Bishop pair, better Pawn structure, and King safety problem for White.

      GM Koneru (2622) – IM Muzychuk (2504) [A87]
      North Ural Cup, 01.08.2008
