With the advent of Nakamura it didn't seem likely that last year's champion, WGM Nino Maisuradze, would repeat as champion. She did, however, have a very creditable tournament, going 5.0/6 and finished in clear second place. Nakamura was 6.0/6. I would have fallen over in a faint if he hadn't finished with that score.
Congratulations to the winners of the Goddesschess prizes for chess femmes!
