Nov-25-16    shivasuri4: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_... Ju Wenjun is in prime position for now. As long as none of Gunina, Kosteniuk and Harika win the tournament (sole or shared), all she needs to do is finish 4th or above to overtake Humpy. If one of the other three win, Wenjun needs to finish 2nd or tie for 2nd -3rd to qualify. Nov-25-16    siggemannen: Valia must be ill, she got a draw today :P Nov-25-16    Domdaniel: Why is Nazi Paikadze not playing? Nov-25-16    Nina Myers: 'I will not wear a hijab' Extensive MSM coverage Nov-25-16    paavoh: @Domdaniel: <Why is Nazi Paikadze not playing?> Not on the list of selected players, it seems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_... Nov-25-16    Domdaniel: <Nina Myers> As I understand it, Nazi Paikidze's stand against a compulsory hijab - which I find admirable - was directed against an event in Iran. What's up, then, with Khanty-Mansiysk? Nov-25-16    et1: Nothing happened, she had already played in three tournaments before -check here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_... Nov-25-16    Domdaniel: <et1> What do you mean? Paikidze did not play in any of those events. Nov-26-16    et1: My mistake. Made a confusion between Nazi and Nana... these names baffle me ! Sorry. Nov-26-16    siggemannen: Does anyone know who's leading the standings in the GP, if the tourney would finish now?

Valentina Gunina 4.5/9 (+4 -4 =1) Dronavalli Harika 4.5/9 (+1 -1 =7) Nov-30-16    dumbgai: Congratulations to Ju Wenjun, winning the GP with a round to spare. Dec-02-16    Bravehorse: Ju vs Hou for world championship? Dec-02-16    abhishikt: <Ju vs Hou for world championship?> Not going to happen, as next championship is knock-out, which Hou is not playing.

One of Almira’s best friends Natalia Zhukova called a doctor and was staying with her while it was necessary.> search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 2 ·  Later Kibitzing> NOTE: Create an account today to post replies and access other powerful features which are available only to registered users.
