Norway Chess Women 2024 R6: Anna Muzychuk and Wenjun Ju become coleaders
Wenjun Ju (CHN) defeated Vaishali in the Classical game to become one of the leaders at Norway Chess Women 2024. Vaishali made a few incorrect decisions in the endgame against the reigning Women's World Champion. First she needed to trade the queens before going into the minor piece endgame. Delaying the exchange only made things difficult for her to defend. Later, she missed few chances to salvage a draw. Anna Muzychuk (UKR) defeated Tingjie Lei (CHN) in the Armageddon to join the lead with Wenjun 10.5/18. The leaders will face each other in Round 7. Vaishali is just a half point behind at 10/18. Pia Cramling (SWE) scored her first win of the event. She drew the Armageddon with the black pieces against Koneru Humpy.
