Game 1 didn't work out well for the defending Women's World Chess Champion. Anna Ushenina got a comfortable position out of the opening and kept increasing pressure on her opponent. However, Anna's time management was not on par with her play: by move 14 she has already spent more than half her time. Predictably enough, by move 30 White got into severe time trouble and made a couple of blunders. The game was over by move 40.

Generally speaking, Anna looks tired on the photos. We are not sure if this has to do with not being well-prepared physically or with the living conditions. Although, as far as we know, there are certain problems, including lack of European cuisine and the playing hall being not comfortable enough.
