Hi everyone,
Elina Danielian's powerful performance with five straight victories is the talk of the tournament at the sixth women's chess grand prix currently on in Doha, Qatar. The rest of the competition is a good two points far away with Marie Sebag, Pia Cramling and Martha Fierro at 3 points each. Is she running away with this? Your guess is as good as ours!

Very powerful performance. Go Danielian
ReplyDeleteDon't count out Humpy folks. She is a power striker.
