 Photo from the official website  According to Bela Khotenashvili, a victory in such a strong tournament is her best career result so far. Anna Muzychuk had a fantastic tournament too & is now rated close to 2600. Tatiana Kosintseva and Nana Dzagnidze won 4 games and lost 2, which was enough for sharing third place. Ju Wenjun and Anna Ushenina finished at 6/11. For the Chinese player this result is nothing special. The Women's World Chess Champion has once again demonstrated that her nerves are made of steel: even after having not won a B+N vs K endgame, she calmly continued playing and earned a couple of rating points. Kateryna Lagno's play was shaky: at some point she was in contention for first place, but then she lost 3 games out of 4. Hou Yifan and Alexandra Kosteniuk have been struggling most of the tournament and finished at -1 (5/11). The Grand Prix stage didn't go well for Viktoria Cmilyte, who found herself at 4.5/9. Tuvshintugs Batchimeg had a decent performance given her low rating and lack of experience: she scored 3.5/11 and defeated Hou Yifan along the way. The biggest upset of the event was Olga Girya's result: only 2/11 and a clear last place with no wins. Round 11 results:
