All Women Cairns Cup Update from St. Louis Chess Club

Hola!  Don't know why, maybe some folks are sleeping in late after celebrating Valentine's Day last evening :)  Whatever the reason, the Results/Standings after Round 7 haven't been updated.  But ever the intrepid researcher, I found the results from Round 7 and the match-ups for Round 8:

All Women Cairns Cup Update from St. Louis Chess Club

Hola darlings!

Buried under about a foot of snow over the past week or so, and bitterly cold temperatures, sigh.  I've gotten my exercise in and run through several pairs of Hot Hands inserts for my down mittens as I've shoveled my way day after day out of this mess.  YUCK!  Happy Valentines Day to me, LOL!

Here's the latest from the Cairns Cup:
