2nd Women Masters Tournament

Thanks to Chessdom.com for the following report: 

China is hosting the second Women Masters Tournament April 10 - 19, 2012.  in Wuxi, Jiangsu, China.

Ten players will compete in the round robin tournament for the prize fund of 215,000 Yuan.

Participants:
Ju Wenjun CHN 2557
Zhao Xue CHN 2543
Mariya Muzychuk UKR 2490
Bela Khotenashvili GEO 2490
Shen Yang CHN 2440
Tan Zhongyi CHN 2438
Huang Qian CHN 2399
Zhang Xiaowen CHN 2354
Ding Yixin CHN 2350
Gu Xiaobing CHN 2257
Average elo: 2432

There are two token European players, so the lower rated Chinese women that the sports ministry is trying out to see who rises up the ranks will get to beat-up on them; the Chinese women are notoriously under-rated -- that's what happens in the female chess ghetto, particularly in China where those lower in the ranks rarely play against anyone other than each other.
