This is interesting!  With her win, Girya now ties with Muzychuk at 10.0/12 each.  Padmini Rout secures third place with 9.5/12 after defeating Melekhina, who is now out of medal contention.  Women's chess proves once again to always expect the unexpected!  More later - got to go to a baby shower -- yes, I'm about to become a great-aunt yet again!
