Holy Hathor! Kosteniuk making a late move, winning her second game in a row! Hou Yifan losing to Ushenina (?)! Other than in events where primarily male players were participating, when has Hou ever lost 3 games in an event? Lahno defeating Dzagnidze with the black pieces! What's going on in Geneva? More importantly, what's in the water - and can I get some of that here in Milwaukee?

2013 FIDE Women's Grand Prix Geneva: Round 8 Hou Yivan v. Anna Ushenina. |
May 12th is a much needed rest day before the final two rounds.
The only player left who has not suffered a loss thus far is Anna Muzychuk. This is a gem of a tournament, to my way of thinking. No one is running away with it (although, in the tradition of other fabulous Georgian chessplayers, Khotenashvili is looking more and more solid as the tournament goes on), and several "upsets." Wish I could play a tenth as well, but darlings, I'm hopeless. Last night I resigned a game before move 12 (with the black pieces) when I was checked with a knight on the back row and would lose a rook next move. Hopeless. I'm hopeless.
