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
