2008 Gibtelecom Round 8 Standings

A new chess femme, IM Victoria Cimilyte (Cmilyte as spelled at the Gibtelecom website) has taken over the top women's spot by winning her game today against American GM Varuzhan Akobian. Stefanova drew her game by default - not sure who didn't show up to face her. I'm having a hard time figuring out the official site, darlings! I didn't see her on the list of pairings for Round 8. Arrrggghhhh! As a result of her draw, Stefanova has risen a few notches in the rankings. Evidently there is a special prize for "top woman" and several chess femmes are in the running for it. The competition is bound to continue hot and heavy, although I'm disappointed that Stefanova couldn't maintain her play against the top-notch players and stay in the top 6 overall. 14 IM Cmilyte, Viktorija 6.0 LTU 2475 25 GM Stefanova, Antoaneta 5.5 BUL 2464 26 IM Muzychuk, Anna 6.0 SLO 2460 27 IM Arakhamia-Grant, Ketevan 5.5 GEO 2457 36 WGM Zhao, Xue 5.0 CHN 2517 40 IM Socko, Monika 5.0 POL 2479 43 WGM Shen, Yang 5.0 CHN 2429 44 IM Paehtz, Elisabeth 5.5 GER 2420 47 IM Foisor, Cristina Adela 5.0 ROU 2412 49 IM Wang, Yu A. 5.0 CHN 2391 50 WGM Foisor, Sabina-Francesca 5.0 ROU 2386 58 GM Zhu, Chen 4.5 QAT 2548 60 GM Cramling, Pia 4.5 SWE 2524 63 IM Harika, Dronavalli 4.5 IND 2455 67 IM Houska, Jovanka 4.5 ENG 2393 74 IM Zozulia, Anna 5.0 BEL 2344 93 WGM Ramaswamy, Aarthie 4.0 IND 2322 94 IM Klinova, Masha 4.0 ISR 2315 102 WIM Nadig, Kruttika 4.0 IND 2208 105 WIM Makka, Ioulia 4.0 GRE 2186 116 IM Dzagnidze, Nana 3.5 GEO 2429 135 WFM Norinkeviciute, Rasa 3.5 LTU 2064 141 WIM Greef, Melissa 3.5 RSA 2025 148 Jorgensen, Line Jin 3.5 NOR 1867 159 Foisor, Mihaela-Veronica 3.0 ROU 2043 168 Jacobsen, Maria Pitz 3.0 NOR 1799 170 Loberg, Jo Kristian 3.0 NOR 0 * 176 Georgieva, Emilia 2.5 BUL 1985 195 Hansen, Linda Marie 1.5 NOR 0 * 198 Mossiaguine, Anastasia 1.0 SWE 0 * 199 Mossiaguine, Arina 1.0 SWE 0 *
