Bibisara Assaubayeva reached both finals at the WR Women's Chess Tour stop in Saint-Tropez, winning the rapid event before finishing runner-up to Anna Muzychuk in the blitz. Assaubayeva and Anna Muzychuk ultimately secured the last two places in November's Grand Final in Stuttgart. Elisabeth Paehtz again came close to advancing, but lost to Assaubayeva in an Armageddon decider in the blitz semifinals. | Photo: WR Chess
