Aug-26-11    paavoh: Another first!? Where is everybody? Aug-26-11    Beholder: Gunina is becoming a force to be reckoned with. The next Kosteniuk, perhaps? Or more than that. *The* Kosteniuk meanwhile is in a serious slump. But then, why shouldn't she enjoy life outside of chess after winning the women's World Title. Aug-26-11    parmetd: Odd i've only heard of three of these women... Aug-26-11    HeMateMe: Go Natalie! You rock! Aug-26-11    kurtrichards: Russian Women's Superfinals Tournament 2011> Where are the Kosintseva sisters? Aug-26-11    beenthere240: Thanks <chessgames>! Aug-26-11    Psihadal: <Beholder: Gunina is becoming a force to be reckoned with. The next Kosteniuk, perhaps? Or more than that. *The* Kosteniuk meanwhile is in a serious slump. But then, why shouldn't she enjoy life outside of chess after winning the women's World Title.> I agree, Gunina has really impressed me. Hope to see some great things from her in years to come. Aug-27-11    perfidious: <kurtrichards: Russian Women's Superfinals Tournament 2011> Where are the Kosintseva sisters?> Maybe they were worn out after this event: FIDE Women's Grand Prix (2011). Aug-27-11    whiteshark: "I took the speed reading course and read 'War and Peace' in twenty minutes. It's about Russia." -- Woody Allen Aug-27-11    Natalia Pogonina: Yes, the sisters were too busy to participate this time. Tough schedule. Aug-27-11    whiteshark: <Natalia Pogonina> Do you have any theoretical chance to come first place? Aug-27-11    kia0708: where is Judith Polgar ? Aug-27-11    HeMateMe: Budapest, Hungary Aug-27-11    Sneaky: whiteshark, I think if Gunina loses round 9 and Pogonina wins, they would both be tied for 1st with 6/9. But more realistically it looks like Gunina will clinch first and Natalia will have to settle for 2nd place. Aug-28-11    stanleys: Gunina wins!Congratulations,Valya! Congratulations also to the lowest-rated Daria Charochkina who takes the 3rd place! Aug-29-11    checkmateyourmove: <Pogonina> is the nakamura of woman....haha Always first to criticize play but never can see her ignorance. Long live chess to give these guys a reality check.
