Alice Lee wins Women’s Speed Chess Championship opener in overtime

IM Alice Lee advanced from her first Women’s Speed Chess Championship match after an overtime finish. The match had a strong comeback arc: Kosteniuk led early, Lee fought back, and the final decision came only after extra games. For fast match formats, that is the real following problem: the story can change several times before a viewer checks back. Lee’s win is now one of the clear Day 2 storylines in the bracket.
