Early days yet, and anything can (and sometimes does) happen.  Stay tuned!  There's a lot of chess yet to play.  I expect the Chinese players to score higher than their artifically depressed ELOs; I expect Cori Deysi, who is the real thing, to do well, but probably not win it.  I'm rooting for her, though.
