"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

Reykjavik Open 2009
The event was won by GM Hedinn Steingrimsson (ISC 2547) with 7.0/9. Here are the final standings of the chess femmes after Round 9 (out of 110 players):
18 IM Harika Dronavalli IND 2473 6,0
56 WIM Cori T Deysi PER 2256 4,5
61 WGM Ptacnikova Lenka ISL 2249 4,5
71 WGM Karlovich Anastazia UKR 2251 4,0
76 Finnbogadottir Tinna Kristin ISL 1660 4,0
77 WIM Andersson Christin SWE 2132 4,0
102 Gudmundsdottir Geirthrudur Ann ISL 1775 2,5
105 Helgadottir Sigridur Bjorg ISL 1646 2,5
107 Johannsdottir Johanna Bjorg ISL 1724 2,5
Dronavalli was the 8th out of 8 players to finish on 6 points. I have great admiration for Dronavalli. I was also very pleased to see Deysi Cori (or is it Cori Deysi???) playing in this event.
Congratulations to all of the chess femmes!
Her name is Deysi Cori. Cori is her last name. Apparently she has got her third WGM norm at La Roda Tournament in Albacete, Espana. She has become the first peruvian WGM at the age of 15.
