GM Harika Dronavalli (India) convincingly outplayed WGM Deysi Cori (Peru) in their round of 16 match of the FIDE Chess.com 2022 Women’s Speed Chess Championship on Thursday and reached the quarterfinals.

The Indian GM was a better player in all three segments, especially in the 3+1 blitz section of the match (which she won by a score of 6-3) and deservedly punched her ticket to the next stage of the competition.

The next day, GM Tan Zhongyi defeated IM Polina Shuvalova and reached the quarterfinals as well. The 31-year-old GM from China grabbed the lead in the first 5+1 segment of the match and only extended it in the 1+1 section to notch up a comfortable 17-10 victory over her young opponent.

The last quarterfinal spot in the FIDE Chess.com 2022 Women’s Speed Chess Championship will be contested in the match between Hou Yifan and Carissa Yip.
