 N. Dzagnidze - A. Ushenina. Exchange variation of Slav Defense was played. White had some pressure on the Queen side but Ushenina methodically traded almost all the pieces and left Dzagnidze with no chances to win. Draw was agreed with threefold repetition on move 35.
A. Stefanova - B. Khotenashvili was an interesting encounter. Until move 15 Khotenashvili was repeating Harika Dronavalii's moves against the same opponent at the 2012 Women's World Cup.

 H. Dronavalli - O. Girya was a positional game, where white was pressing on the queen side. However black's position was very solid and Harika wasn't able to get anything real. Draw on move 43.
Khotenashvili sacrificed a pawn in the opening against Muzychuk and left the black with undeveloped queen side. The position looked very promising for her, but on move 18 she spent most of her time trying to find the best square for the rook. Being in time trouble she didn't find anything better than repeating the moves. This was probably a wise decision.
