Corus 2009

This excellent chess event has expanded and increased its lustre over the 11 years I've been following chess events online. This year there is no female player in Group A (the elite group), but in Group B WGM Hou Yifan of China (2571) and in Group C IM Harika Dronavalli (IND 2473) are playing against the chess dudes. Round 1 is played today: H. Yifan - R. Kasimdzhanov (no results as of the time of this post) A. Gupta - D. Harika 0-1 Yeaaaaahhhhh! Dronavalli has won her game, but at the expense of her fellow countryman!
