The only good news from the Women’s World Blitz Championships from Tuesday’s rounds is that R. Vaishali put on a stunning show, finishing as the clear leader with 9.5 points after 11 rounds. She has performed really well, including some big wins against top players like Polina Shuvalova, showing her dominance. Vaishali finished a full point ahead of China’s Lei Tingjie, securing her spot in the knockouts with a round to spare.
