2012 European Individual Women's Chess Championship

Whew!  Standings after R4:

Who the hell is WGM Zoya Schleining???  One of my girls, WIM Narmin Kazimova, is down in 58th place, at 50% with 2.0.  I should be happy that she's at 50% in this tough competition.  But I'm sure she's not.

Neither is the wonderful GM Alexandra Kosteniuk, who finds herself in 75th place with 1.5?  What?

Lots of chess to play yet.  I will not say I'm surprised by GM Marie Sebag.  She showed her chops a few years ago when she earned her final GM norm and got her GM title mixing it up with the Big Boys in the European Individual Chess Championship.  This woman can play chess!
