2012 U.S. Women's Chess Championship

Zatonskih v. Krush, R7. From U.S. Chesschamps.com.
Zatonskih continues to lead by a narrow margin.  The pairings have done her no favors, she has white in R9 against Abrahamyan.  I expect her to win - that is to say, she should win, given the relative difference in ELO and the advantage of white over black; I cannot imagine Abrahamyan rolling over so I expect a tough, intense game.
