Ohmygoddess! What were the organizers thinking - squeezing that many people into so small a room - and with "sea and chess" murals on the walls, no less! Entirely claustrophobic. I would not be able to stay in that room for a minute, let alone the hours it takes to play a chess game. Holy Cow! Not even enough room for a good stretch!
Here are the ladies:

GM Kateryna Lahno, playing in C Group, R1. |

Sachdev v. Lahno, C Group, R2. |

Tania Sachdev of India, playing in C Group, R1. |
hello! I'm the art director of Chess Life magazine - I'm interested in possibly using your photo above (of the tournament hall) by Fred Lucas in our April issue. Please drop me a line if this is a possibility.
