"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

2009 FiNet Chess 960 Open Championship
Today the big ORDIX Open starts, but as part of the Mainz Chess Classic the 960 Open also hosted an incredible line-up of players! I'll try and pick out the chess femmes.
US GM Gata Kamsky had the tournament in hand - he only needed a draw in the last round in order to win, but he suffered a loss and finished with 9 points. Devastating! Coverage at Chessdom.com. From Chessdom: The best female player in the FiNet was Kateryna Lahno with 8 points, Irina Gaponenko and Marie Rachel Sebag scored 7,5 points. I just checked the official website, the final standings aren't posted yet, they're only up through Round 10.
