    For the second day running there was just one draw and again this involved Pia Cramling. The rest of the games were decisive, many times in what looks like errors in time-scrambles. Nana Dzagnidze only moved to 2/2 after her opponent Batkhuyag Munguntuul went wrong on move 38. Similarly Elina Danielian took advantage of former World Champion Maia Chiburdanidze's time pressure to eventually win...
