"Despite the documented evidence of chess historian H.J.R. Murray, I have always thought that chess was invented by a goddess." George Koltanowski, from Women in Chess, Players of the Modern Game

Women’s National A Chess Championship of India
Chessbase has an article on the 34th Women's National A Championship in India, November 4 - 15, 2007, with several nice photographs. At stake for the top three finishers: seats at the next Olympiad.
The Symbiosis Society is hosting (and a sponsor) of this event, which features the highest prizes yet for the Women's event. Here is the official website.
Here is a list of the 28 players - some of the best India has to offer. Unfortunately, the Subbaraman sisters are not playing in this event, I understand that their father recently passed away.
