2012 FIDE Women's World Chess Championship

Mark Crowther (The Week in Chess) summed things up succinctly:  Only three of the top 8 players who started are left and only 50% of the players expected to reach round 3 did so. We therefore have an unusual and unexpected mix of players.  American Irina Krush was eliminated after she couldn't equalize in her 4th play-off game.
