See the announcement in the September, 2009 print edition of Chess Life Magazine under Grand Prix.
Goddesschess will increase the dedicated prize money for the female players in the next HCCC if we get one more female playing in Challenge X. And the more females who sign up and play in Challenge X, the more we will increase the prize fund and number of prizes available for Challenge XI.
