In the sixth round of Women's Grand Prix tournament players with white pieces scored four victories and two draws.
Tuvshintugs and Danielyan are still getting medical treatment and couldn't perform on their normal level.But if Tuvshintugs ended the game with threefold repetition in the opening, basically without starting it,Danielyan had a tiring and long game against Dronavalli with black. Elina solved the opening problems and had a comfortable position, but later started to play without clear plan and was gradually outplayed by her opponent.
Girya had better chances against her compatriot Kosintseva.

 A. Ushenina and O. Girya showed a deep knowledge of this variation of Slav Defense. White tried to improve the line from recent Wang Yue-Karjakin game. They traded the Queens and had a small plus, but Girya was very accurate and the winner of the 2012 Women's World Cup never had a chance to get anything real.
Draw was agreed with threefold repetition. As there are strict limitations about draw agreements in this tournament (threefold repetition, 50 move rule and theoretical draws) we often see draws with threefold repetitions. Some positions really don't contain any resources for further play so players have to find this kind of threefold repetitions to abide the regulations. Draw was agreed on move 58, but honestly I think they could have agreed to draw much earlier if allowed.
