The 1st Hangzhou Women Grandmaster Chess

Tournament was dominated by 20 year old rising Chinese star Ju Wenjun with a score of 6.5/9  and a performance rating of nearly 2700!  Hangzhou boasted the highest ever average FIDE  rating for an all-female event at 2524 FIDE.   This tournament victory is the best of Wenjun's career, as she earned her first grandmaster  norm and $5,000 dollars.  IM Harika Dronavalli of India had an impressive performance with  5.5/9, taking clear 2nd place and achieving her 3rd and final Grandmaster Norm.   The 2011 US Women's Chess Champion IM Anna Zatonskih must be disappointed after a difficult tournament, finishing

last with 2.5/9 points.  The reigning Women's World Champion GM Hou Yifan

probably isn't satisfied with her result either, as she finished in the

middle of the pack with an even score of 4.5/9.
