2011 Women Grandmaster Chess Tournament

Final standings.  Dronavalli wasn't able to catch Ju Wenjun - nobody could. She finishes in honorable second place.  The Europeans and the sole American, Anna Zatonskih, did not have a good event. It's clear that Hou Yifan needs a rest of at least a few weeks. Give it to her already, heh? And no more women-only events for her. Geez!
