Before the Last Round...

Before the last round of Grand Prix second stage Georgian chess player Nana Dzagnidze (2550) is in the third place. Perhaps, she will keep this place.

In the 10th round Nana defeated Viktorija Cmilyte of Lithuania and earned 6.0 points. Humpy Koneru of India (2597) is in the first place with 7.0 points. Anna Muzychuk of Slovenia (2593) is in the second place with 6.5 points.

In the last round all three leaders will play with white pieces. Dzagnidze will face Olga Girya of Russia (2436), Koneru – Batchimeng of Mongolia (2316) and Muzychuk – Elina Danielian of Armenia (2475).

Unfortunately, Bela Khotenashvili (2531) who won the first stage is in the last place now. She has not even one win in 10 rounds and has 3.5 points. In the previous round Bela lost to Danielian with black pieces. In the last round she will play current world champion Ana Ushenina (Ukraine, 2499).
