Yes, it's all over now. The top-rated ladies did, overall, rather well this year. Once again Stefanova, top finisher female, proved that she still has the goods. The big winner was a male, and the rest I'm reporting are chess femmes. 247 players in this Masters Event. I apologize to any femmes I may have omitted. It is vey difficult to try to differentiate the gender of players when the names used are not within my limited "western" realm of familiarity and I do not want to spend all night at Fide.com looking up names. Organizers could solve this problem quite simply by writing either F or M next to a player's name. One would think for any successful tournament the organizers would want such information. Ha, who am I kidding?
Updated February 3, 2013: Oops! I thought that Stefanova was the top female winner, but I was wrong. Good thing for double-checks, because tonight darlings, I discovered that it was GM Zhao Xue who took top female honors by finishing overall in 13th place, and kudos to her for doing so well in a VERY tough field. See what I mean about not recognizing non-western style player names? Didn't recognize Zhao Xue as a female player. Should have, but didn't.

If I'm reading the report correctly, IM Valentina Gunina also scored her third and final GM norm, and WGM Ju Wenjun (CHN 2505) scored her third and final IM norm.
