KL Open Chess Tournament

The 3rd Kuala Lumpur Chess Championship 2010 (Malaysia) April 6 - 12, 2010, was won by GM Hou Yifan (CHN 2570) in clear first with 7.5 of 9.  Hoorah!

The little girl is growing up.  I have to dis the outfit (don't they have fashion magazines in China?), but she looks great - love the "edge" she's given to her usual short haircut - those long bangs and side fringe frame her face nicely and she's got cheekbones! 

WIM norms were earned by two Indian women players: Bhakti Kulkarni and Mitali Patil.

I tried to pick out the other chess femmes who participated in this 111 player event (it's difficult because I am not familiar with the naming conventions, so I'm going mostly by their earned titles and the few players whose names I recognize as chess femmes) - final standings:

24 WGM Hoang Thi Bao Tram VIE 2318 5,5
30 WGM Sukandar Irine Kharisma INA 2316 5,5
45 WIM Muminova Nafisa UZB 2338 5,0
48 WFM Medina Warda Aulia INA 1959 5,0
50 WCM Sihite Chelsie Monica INA 1957 5,0
52 CM Bhakti Kulkarni IND 2242 4,5
53 WGM Fatianova Tatiana RUS 2303 4,5
58 WFM Mitali Madhukar Patil IND 1981 4,5
