Due to circumstances beyond her control, Natasa Serbanescu was granted a postponement of her R1 game. That game will be played on Tuesday August 7 at 10:00 a.m. Until the results of that game are available, no women's standings will be published.
As you can see, decisive games all around! These ladies ain't fooling around. An expenses-paid trip to the Women's World Championship is on the line. Ladies' games in PGN at the end of this post.

The gift bags that Mrs. Dumont so kindly assembled for us and got delivered to the playing venue:
Well darlings, probably no dude is interested in our gift bags, but they are a big thing for the ladies. Thank you so much, Mrs. Dumont and volunteers for giving your time to put everything together for us and getting the bags delivered to the playing venue, they turned out fabulously!

The playing venue -- at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Royals in the 1940's before he became the first black man to play for a major league baseball team in the United States in the 1950's. I did not know he had played baseball in Canada before he played in the U.S. Just goes to show - you learn something new every day! Taken outside the playing venue. |
