Final standings after Round 9: No. Name FED Rtg Pts Rtg+/- 1 WGM Hou Yifan CHN 2527 7.0 17 2 GM Pia Cramling SWE 2524 6.0 7 3 WGM Zhao Xue CHN 2517 5.5 3 4 IM Ekaterina Atalik TUR 2408 5.0 13 5 IM Lela Javakhishvili GEO 2470 4.5 -1 6 IM Harika Dronavalli IND 2455 4.0 -4 7 GM Zhu Chen QAT 2548 4.0 -16 8 IM Anna Ushenina UKR 2484 3.0 -18 9 IM Irina Krush USA 2473 3.5 -11 10 WIM Betul Cemre Yildiz TUR 2207 2.5 15 Hmmm, not a good event for Harika (-4), Zhu Chen (-16!), Ushenina (-18! - a nasty fall from her excellent play at Aeroflot) and Krush (-11 - maybe she needs to put back some of the weight she lost, I think she looks a bit too thin to be comfortable sitting on a chair for long periods of time). Contrats to Hou Yifan, and to Atalik, who gave a very good performance on her adopted home turf.
