"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

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

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.
