Lei Tingjie advanced to the quarterfinals of the FIDE Women's World Cup 2025

Image
Today, a draw was enough for Lei Tingjie to advance. It must be admitted that Umida Omonova tried hard, tightened her position, and pushed for victory. She even had a chance, as the Chinese player made a big mistake in the game by playing 39. ...h5??. If White had played 40.f4 now, they could have won. Instead, the game ended in a draw, and Lei Tingjie will play in the quarterfinals of the FIDE Women's World Cup 2025. 1 GM Lei Tingjie CHN 2552 1 ½ 1½ 81 WIM Omonova Umida UZB 2211 0 ½ ½  Both games of this match:

GM Marc`andria Maurizzi wins Djerba International Chess Festival 2025 (Masters)

French Grandmaster (GM) Marc'Andria Maurizzi won the Djerba International Chess Festival 2025 (Masters). The winner scored 7.5 out of 9 points, a remarkable result. There was significant interest in the performance of 12-year-old Faustino Oro. The Argentine player lost his first five games and ultimately scored only 1.5 points (three draws), finishing in last place. This tournament was clearly too strong for Oro. Rk.
