2013 Moscow Open

Here are the final standings of the ladies from the Open A (Men's) and the top finishers in the Open B (Women's).

Clear first place in the Open A is also shown - a male player I haven't heard of, but since I don't pay much attention to men's chess that's not surprising.  Still, this year's Moscow Open A seemed to be mostly populated by third and fourth tier of male GMs, probably due to the crappy prizes.  I have to wonder why Fearless Leader Putin did not see fit to raid the state treasury for some funds for the Moscow Open, tsk tsk.  He's been raiding it for everything else (mostly vacations where he's shown without his shirt on, doing "manly" things.  Perhaps he thinks chess isn't very "manly.")

Okay, so no matter how many times I tried, I could not get the final ranking list for all 233 players.

The full cross-table was working, so I grabbed the information for the remainder of the female players:

None of the female players in the Open A won any prizes.  I have a tremendous amount of respect, though, for the female players from India and the other ladies who played in the A Group, knowing hey would be up against VERY tough competition.

In the Women's Open B, mostly populated by lower rated Russian female players, here are the top finishers:

You can find the prizes here.  Group B's prize purse was 650,000 rubles.  Current conversion rate is 30.07 rubles to a U.S. Dollar; total women's prizes were approximately $21,616 USD.  The top women's prize was 150,000 rubles, or approximately $4,988 USD.  Under the regulations, prizes were not split among players with equal scores but were determined on tie-breaks.
