Indian Grandmaster D Harika settled for a second straight draw with former champion Alexandra Kosteniuk of Russia in the third round of the World Women's Chess Championship at Khanty Mansiysk (Russia) today.

This led to setting up of a tie-breaker against the same opponent. Harika will now take her chances in the rapid chess games of 25 minutes given to each player and if the scores are tied, they play a couple of games with ten minutes each.

If still tied, it will be two games of five minutes on the clock and if the deadlock persists, the final Armageddon game will decide the winner.
