  The match between the leaders (Yugra and SHSM-Nashe Nasledie) turned out to be very dramatic. Olga Girya defeated Baira Kovanova, while Natalia Pogonina was a pawn down and in an inferior position vs. Valentina Gunina. However, Natalia managed to equalize the game closer to the time control and later capitalize on her opponent's tactical oversight. 1-1. Meanwhile, Marina Romanko had a totally winning endgame against Ekaterina Kovalevskaya. After a blunder the game was drawn. Ex-Women's World Chess Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk had certain winning chances in an endgame vs. Anna Ushenina, but the reigning champion eventually managed to hold the position. The fate of the gold medals will be decided on April 13th. Btw, Garry Kasparov will turn 50 on that day!
