Holy Lakshmi!  I don't know why it didn't register with me when I posted the R9 results earlier -- Vijay Subbaraman played in this tournament!  Maybe she has been playing all along and I just haven't been paying attention, but I have to tell you, this is the first time in quite a while that I have seen her name come up in a tournament, and she finished in a tie for first place!  Whoop whoop!  Evidently she was in great form.  Her sister, Meenakshi Subbaraman, also played and finished in a tie for third place with six other players.  I have great admiration for both ladies.

Unfortunately, the official website (Tamil Nadu State Chess Association) was silent as to whether any players earned WGM or other norms in this event.  Arggghhhh!
