2008 Gibtelecom Final Standings

As I understand it from the official website, the top 4 females, who all finished with 6.5/9, divided the prize money among them: Viktorija Cmilyte, Antoaneta Stefanova, Harika Dronavalli and Ketevan Arakhamia-Grant. Stefanova scored a win in her final game to pull even with Arakhamia Grant and Cimilyte. Harika flew below the radar but finished in the money - way to go! I included the performance ratings in this final table. Stefanova performed at a very creditable 2690, reflecting the tough competition she played (tougher than the other ladies): 21 IM Arakhamia-Grant, Ketevan 6.5 GEO 2457 2422 24 IM Cmilyte, Viktorija 6.5 LTU 2475 2578 26 IM Harika, Dronavalli 6.5 IND 2455 2472 33 GM Stefanova, Antoaneta 6.5 BUL 2464 2690 39 GM Cramling, Pia 6.0 SWE 2524 2463 47 IM Muzychuk, Anna 6.0 SLO 2460 2488 48 IM Paehtz, Elisabeth 6.0 GER 2420 2533 50 IM Socko, Monika 6.0 POL 2479 2517 55 WGM Zhao, Xue 6.0 CHN 2517 2477 65 IM Houska, Jovanka 5.5 ENG 2393 2290 68 IM Klinova, Masha 5.5 ISR 2315 2345 71 WIM Makka, Ioulia 5.5 GRE 2186 2236 80 IM Wang, Yu A. 5.5 CHN 2391 2472 84 GM Zhu, Chen 5.5 QAT 2548 2313 85 IM Zozulia, Anna 5.5 BEL 2344 2347 91 IM Dzagnidze, Nana 5.0 GEO 2429 2281 93 IM Foisor, Cristina Adela 5.0 ROU 2412 2360 94 Foisor, Mihaela-Veronica 5.0 ROU 2043 2140 95 WGM Foisor, Sabina-Francesca 5.0 ROU 2386 2281 104 WIM Nadig, Kruttika 5.0 IND 2208 2148 106 WGM Ramaswamy, Aarthie 5.0 IND 2322 2172 108 WGM Shen, Yang 5.0 CHN 2429 2422 128 Jorgensen, Line Jin 4.5 NOR 1867 2075 133 WFM Norinkeviciute, Rasa 4.5 LTU 2064 2137 169 Georgieva, Emilia 3.5 BUL 1985 1961 170 WIM Greef, Melissa 3.5 RSA 2025 1876 185 Jacobsen, Maria Pitz 3.0 NOR 1799 1888 197 Mossiaguine, Arina 2.0 SWE 0 * 1277 198 Hansen, Linda Marie 1.5 NOR 0 * 1570 200 Mossiaguine, Anastasia 1.0 SWE 0 * 1669 Cimilyte earned a GM norm, and Shen Yang and Zhao Xue each earned IM norms! Congrats to them! A final note: 204 players were registered in the Masters Event, but players 201 through 204 (all guys) appear to have not shown up for 99.9% of their games. Chess Femme Anastasia Mossiaguine, who finished last of the women and near the bottom of the cross-table - played all of her games and stayed untl the end. Kudos to the lady for a gutsy performance.
