Congratulations to Kashlinskaya Alina (RUS) who became European Women’s Chess Champion 2019!
Five players tied for the top, each with 8 points, but Kashlinskaya took gold with the best tiebreaks, Sebag Marie (FRA) came second, while bronze medal went to Paehtz Elisabeth (GER).
Paehtz-Atalik is a very complicated battle although Elisabeht Paehtz has better chances in the long term with two bishops and a-passer #ewicc2019#chess
Looks more and more like a heartbreaking end for Gaponenko. It was all down to nerves. Kudos to Stefanova, she showed her class in the final round! #ewicc2019#chess
With Sebag game already drawn and Kashlinskaya dead equal against Cramling, a Stefanova win will mean that the champion will be determined in a photo finish! What a great last round!
