The participants:



From top left: Koneru Humpy, Antoaneta Stefanova, Pia Cramling, Marie Sebeg, Anna Muzychuk, Yuhua Xu, Anna Ushenina, Natalya Pogonina.

I don't know about anyone else, I think Anna Ushenina's shirt is quite appropriate...

On their day off:



First Row: Yuhua Xu, Marie Sebag, Pia Cramling, Koneru Humpy.
Second Row: Natalya Pogonina, Antoaneta Stefanova, Anna Muzychuk, Anna Ushenina.

The tournament regulation say that if players finish with equal points the tie shall be resolved as follows:

Match between the players who have equal points;

Number of victories;

The best result against participants who scored 50 percent of points and more.


So the final classification is:

1. Antoaneta Stefanova
2. Anna Ushenina
3. Marie Sebag
4. Humpy Koneru (!)
5. Xu Yuhua (!)
6. Pia Cramling
7. Anna Muzychuk
8. Natalija Pogonina


The Humpy Koneru-Xu Yuhua and Cramling-Muzychuk ties were decided by number of wins, the tie between Ushenina and Sebag was decided by last criteria with Ushenina scoring 2.5 points against players with 50% or more score compared to Sebag's 2 points.
