Day six of the Women’s Week of the Armageddon Series in Berlin was almost championship day, as we would learn who reaches the final day, big money, and the Grand Finale. The match between Bibisara Assaubayeva and Gunay Mammadzada did not disappoint, and Bibisara claimed the first spot in the finals by the smallest of margins! In the second match, Humpy Koneru and Alina Kashlinskaya took it down to the wire after trading punches in their first games. In Armageddon, Humpy was a tad slower, but could handle the clock pressure Alina put on her. To date, Bibisara still boasts a pristine record, her spot in the Grand Finale is already a lock, while Humpy and Gunay will fight it out to see who will join her! Exclusive shots, emotions, feel the atmosphere from our studio, only here. This is Armageddon!
